Thanks Kathleen. I wanted to post my pictures because they show the complete lack of green plants in the area.

This is the link of the photo taken by Bev that same day. I like your ID suggestion there so thought we could link the 2 spottings together: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/32549006

These are beautiful Jean! I can see why you are so interested in the fact that they have no leaves after having seen all those one in Manning Park this week which all have lots of leaves.
