The Redbud Tree in September
This tree amazes me...in the fall it is so so very different from all of the ways it looks in the other seasons.  This season, the redbuds are filled with brown seed pods....and I mean filled.  The heart-shaped leaves are starting to turn darker this time of year.   I am going to plant seed pods near my house this fall.  I love the way this tree changes so much each season.

Redbud Bark


For the love of the trees,
