Not So Plane


I enjoy seeing sycamore trees in the winter. I believe they're called 'plane' trees in Europe, but to me they aren't so plain at all. Their white hide makes a sparking contrast against other trees, basically providing a line drawing of basic tree shape that almost glows in the sunlight. 

Yesterday afternoon, a flock of grackles was perched in a nearby plane tree, all of them facing into the sun. Then they seemed to have gotten a message from their leader, and all of them were gone.

A handy perch for them.

If those trees grow here, they're rare.
