#joinindaily - Fruit On Trees

Today's #joinindaily by +Johnny Wills theme is "Fruit On Trees"

This was a tough one to come up with an image for since I don't really have any shots of trees with fruit on them, but also I remembered I shot some this past fall. I'm not sure what kind of tree this is, but it is covered in bright red "fruit" in fall once this leaves drop off. This was shot along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.

It's also #treetuesday curated by +Ralph Mendoza & myself.

Golden Weeping Willow
I had a great time a few weeks ago walking around in the cool evening. They still had a lot of the Christmas lights up in some areas such as the Boston Public Garden. There were a lot of neat trees there as well. This is a Golden Weeping Willow according to the small sign that was hung on the tree.

Foggy trees and foggy future for theme curators
Tomorrow is #treetuesday. Unfortunately, beginning tomorrow Google has decided to remove a key feature that made curating themes much easier. As of tomorrow the Mentions tab that allows you to easily see all posts where you were mentioned is going away since the Classic interface is being disabled and there is no such functionality in the new UI. This feature made it very easy for me to find #treetuesday posts where I was +mentioned. Given that hashtag searches are broken in G+, that there is no way to filter or sort notifications based on the type of notification, and now that the Mentions tab functionality will be disabled, Google is making theme curation extremely difficult.

If you enjoy participating in the #treetuesday theme or any other hashtag based theme here on G+, please help your curators by going to the G+ Feedback page (you'll find a link on the G+ menu on the left near the bottomw) and submitting feedback requesting that Google bring back the Mentions tab.

Going forward I would still suggest tagging +Ralph Mendoza & myself for #treetuesday posts, but Google is making our jobs as theme curators much more difficult starting tomorrow.

Fall Layers
Here's some fall colors from along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. This was from a few weeks ago before all if the fires started. There are so many fires burning in GA, NC, TN & SC right now. We desperately need some rain in the area.
