A guest contribution! ...I forgot my camera on the 9th and Eva was nice enough to take an awesome pic for me!
"A deciduous tree in northern Arizona." - Eva
If you're like me you're probably scratching your head thinking does she mean "delicious" tree, no it's really "deciduous" and here's the definition!
"Deciduous means falling off at maturity or tending to fall off (deriving from the Latin verb decido, "fall off")and is typically used in reference to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonallyand to the shedding of other plant structures such as petals after flowering or fruit when ripe. In a more specific sense deciduous means the dropping of a part that is no longer needed, or falling away after its purpose is finished."- Wikipedia
