Birches are described as the quintessential Russian tree: sad, romantic, and thus fitting of poetry like that of Sergei Yesenin. Birches in the Rocky Mountains belong to a different variety, but are no less charming (almost, wink!), particularly amidst all that autumn gold.

Old Norwegian runic poem reads:
Birch has the greenest leaves of any shrub;
Loki was fortunate in his deceit.
