Beautiful Autumn Views - Week 2

Here are some American Sweet Gum Trees in one of my neighbor's yard.

Th ere are many other names these trees go by including hazel pine, sweet gum, redgum, and star-leaved gum.
Every year this variety of tree has some of the best colors of all the trees in our part of Texas!
I say this because at times there are green, yellow, red and orange leaves all at the same time!

Amazing trees and in the autumn they are beautiful! Thank you @violetmed

At us this tree is called hazel, its leaves really play different colors. Very beautiful.

Realy sweet trees

Why are they called gumtrees? It's a beautiful leaf.

Yes @dbooster, I love the color and the shape of the leaf!
I wasn't even sure why it was called a sweet gum tree so I just looked up some information here that says a man in 1753 name it for the "fragrant terebinthine juice or gum which exudes from the tree."

I love the brilliant blue sky that makes the orange pop out.

Thank you!

very nice trees!
