Through some miracle of tenacity this little oak tree has held onto some of its leaves. This little tree, no more than five or six feet tall, stands in one of the windiest, nasties places in the city. You can see this little guy holding onto its leaves in 100km/h winds in my New Year's Eve storm video.

As hands-on interaction with nature is part of this experience I tried to gently tug one of the leaves off. They are still firmly attached. Surely this small oak must be some sort of super tree.
