    Great post.  I've also seen small amounts of Spanish moss on trees off of Granby St.

    I’m not sure how I missed these from previous visits to Lafayette Park. There was quite a bit visible from the road in the nearby neighborhood as well.

    Maybe this isn’t that unusual, but I thought it was interesting. I have noticed that many live oaks in the landscape, appearing planted and of unknown provenance, tend to drop the previous year’s foliage a few days-weeks before new growth in the spring. The naturally-occurring (to my knowledge) live oaks tend to hold onto the previous year’s foliage until after new growth in the spring.

    Another oddity; this one had varying degrees of golden leaves. Not sure how noticeable it is in the photos.
