The Trump tree

As much as I love the tree Mrs. Ottawacker and I planted a few years ago, I am beginning to realize how much it resembles Donald Trump in the autumn sunlight.

Except, of course, here the oranges and browns are entirely natural, and not the product of a multi-million dollar fetish with make-up and hair dyes.

The loss of foliage starts at the top, and works its way down. Pretty soon, we'll be going for the Trump-style leaf comb-over.
