Trees of the neighborhood








DSCN2397


I took a walk this morning to catalog the flora in the area around my house. What is certain, though, is there's a great many outstanding trees in my neighborhood. If I knew the species I would list them for you. But there is one in particular that intrigues me. The leaves are shown here, they look like six or seven fingered gloves, hanging down asking to be kissed. Some of these leaf grouping have an additional flourish, one that looks like a miniature tree sprouting from the intersection of the leaves and their branch. I ran out of battery, so I do not have a photo to illustrate my point. I'll get back on this task another day. This picture, however, was taken with a flash, which I never use - never. But it was by accident that the camera utilized the flash, and it created a interesting effect.
