Description
Along with the colorful sugar maples in our yard, we have a single juvenile Ginkgo Biloba tree. We love the tree for its distinctive and profuse fan-shaped leaves that show a rich shimmering green all summer long until end-of-season cold changes them to a gorgeous gold color. These unusual trees are unique in that when they shed their leaves, nearly all drop within a single twelve hour period. The nearby Virginia Arboretum in White Post VA has a huge grove of nearly 300 mature Ginkgos which all seem to drop their leaves at once...quite a sight both before and afterwards. I picked up this fallen example from our yard, brought it indoors, and photographed it against a dark backdrop to produce this striking image.
