Brown rotting leaves of green ash and hackberry on the ground after recent rains in Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, August 19, 2022



After a recent downpour, the brown leaves of green ash and hackberry trees littered the ground in Lick Creek Park, College Station, Texas. The leaves, once a vibrant green, had withered and turned a rich brown hue, creating a carpet of color on the forest floor. This change was brought about by the park's wet climate, which caused the leaves to fall prematurely. The scene was captured on August 19, 2022, showcasing the beauty of nature's transformation. – generated by AI
