Autumn Plumage

Certain trees have drooping branches that remind me of feathers on a wing or tail.  Usually its a sort of pine with big layered boughs, but this year I moved to a house with a grove of Cottonwoods in the back, and downward hanging and swooping branches covered in brilliant yellow leaves all swaying and clattering together like wind chimes.  It seemed to be showing off, like a peacock.
