Stripped Down to the Bone
The other day when Anthony went running with Grandpa, I noticed that the leaves of one tree were almost completely stripped of every last bit of green, I assume by insects.

Naked
I'm not sure whether they're actually leaves of a tree, or of some vine intertwined with a tree. In any case, the stripped leaves were intermixed with a different kind of leaf that was not touched.

It was impressive how thoroughly the one kind of leaf in just this one tree were so totally consumed.

Total Destruction
I tried to step back to get a picture of the whole tree, but it came out a bit muddy. From afar, you see mostly the leaves that are okay, since the ones that have been stripped clean have been turned into a fine mesh that disappears as you step away....

There are thousands of trees on my folks' property, but this was the only tree I noticed like this. Very odd....
