Two trees in one place
It's Autumn. On some trees, the leaves are turning yellow and dropping. On others, inscrutably known as evergreens, they stay green.
But this tree appears to be both. Part of it is resolutely staying green, the other part (of a completely different species, or at least leaf shape) is distinctly deciduous.
Shrewd observation showed the latter to be a vine that is growing into the tree, and indeed all the trees along the side of the park. So it's not really two trees at all. But it's still striking.
If your powers of plant categorisation fall into roughly "tree, flower, other" then this is the kind of thing you need a wife to notice.
