nice pictures. i'd like to visit houston some time.

are these pictures from march 10, the day the thread was posted? if so, i would've thought that the trees would be pretty much bare at this point from winter. do the trees lose their leaves down there? or do they stay green all year?

They were taken on 9th. We didn't have too much of a winter this year, alot of the vegitation is messed up. You can tell some of the plants are bare, or that they barely have any blossoms. But alot of the plant life survive the winter with green. (like the pines).

The pecan trees, in particular, mostly lose their blooms but most everything else survives. In northern and eastern Houston, the abundance of pines makes it appear as if their is no winter down here. However, to the south and west, there trees are more varied and you see pecans and certain oaks give up their leaves.

Of course, by the end of the month, you'll see the leaves growing back on those types of trees, too.
