Ficus carica

Ficus carica: Our well-known fig tree.

 

I found it standing at the side of a road on Mt. Hymittos. It was “dressed” in its autumn colors 

and was creating a striking contrast with the all-green environment around.

 

It had no figs to offer. Only a strong “color coded message” that we were heading to the center of Winter.

One of its lowest branches.

Four leaves at the foot of the tree seemed to refuse to accept

that Winter was unavoidably coming.
