    Walking in woods I found this. Might have served Adam or Eve very well. 8” wide and a little over 9” long. IMG_0323.jpeg


    EDIT: Picture really does not do it justice.

    Big leaves like that always catch my eye. This tulip polar one in our back yard caught my eye the other day. IMG_4179.JPG

    I’ve had this hung on my cubicle wall for 2 years. This Burr oak has been removed from the center of my deck. Heat for season of ‘27-‘28

    Black oak leaves get pretty big too, especially when growing in the shade.

    I always thought they had the biggest Oak leaf, but I don’t know if that’s a fact.
    The Guinness record is from a cherry bark oak.
