Ginko

Leaves from our Ginko tree in varying stages of decay. The tree looks lovely at the moment, full of yellow leaves, but not for much longer! Ginkgo is an ancient tree; Graham told a Chinese visitor at work, who lived next door to us for several months, all about it in great detail only to find when we went to Beijing, where she lives, that it is full of them. No doubt she wondered why he was telling her about a tree that is commonplace there.
