On the same trip down RR 1869 in Burnet County on an overcast November 18th that brought you the picture of flameleaf sumacs and sinuous clouds, I made this one showing several of those trees, young but already colorful, along with an animal that isn’t native but whose curiosity earned a place here anyhow. I earned a place in the post’s title as the other curious observer.
