One beautiful tree

There's a tree on campus. For about ten days last fall, it was so amazing that I wanted to tell everyone: "If you don't have time for a road trip to go look at fall colors, just drive by this one tree!" The leaves were mostly an incredible vibrant red, yet parts of it were an incredible vibrant yellow. A two-toned tree!

This fall, after a drought year, the red is duller, and there is less yellow.

It's still a nice-looking tree. I'm afraid this photo fails to capture the comparative dullness of its color this year, yet doesn't show how beautiful it is either.

Despite the drought, we're getting some nice yellows:
