Sycamore Leaf

I had to pull out my phone to identify this leaf.  It's from a sycamore tree.  I don't think I've ever seen them turn anything but brown.  It even says so at Wikipedia: "In autumn they turn brown and wither before falling."

I may have mentioned, it's been a strange Autumn.  We went from a record low on November 11th (21ºF) to a morning at 64ºF on November 20th — with several record-highs across the State.  The Lord only knows what the trees do with that kind of swing. 

On the Bankhead Trail in Monte Sano State Park.  Huntsville, Alabama.
