Red Oak in Fall
There are many varieties of oak; these are red oak, so called because of the brilliant red their leaves turn in autumn.
Oak people are enthusiastic, self-motivated, responsible and do not give up easily. They stay calm in crises, are cheerful and optimistic even in the face of opposition, and very grounded.
