Beautiful Birches

I’ve always loved Birch Trees, but it’s during the fall that I’m especially drawn to them.  Their bright yellow-gold leaves lighten up the countryside and are such a contrast to their striking white bark. When they appear as a group, their trunks stand out like matchsticks against the darker woodland backdrop. But I think it’s their diversity that attracts me most.  Some birch are so dainty and slender, while others are thick and robust.
