Alone with myself The trees bend to caress me The shade hugs my heart. ~Candy Polgar Julie and
JeriAnne are documenting changes in a single tree over seasons and inviting everyone to join. I couldn't miss that. Trees are my friends. My daughter laughs when I comment how 'this' three is my favorite - she says that all of them are my favorites. My husband is a tree hugger. Actually, the whole family has been seen hugging tress and talking to them. Of all of the favorite trees, I chose the one closest to me - the one in my backyard. I picked an unfortunate time to photograph it, when the sun was too bright so everything looks washed out. I will add a a good photo on Saturday, when I have the chance to see it in the morning and when the shade really "hugs my heart".
One of the things I love about this tree is the fact that every new leaf is born as a pinkish red and then gradually changes the color to green. I love that!
And since I mentioned
Julie of
Lost Luggage, this seems like a perfect opportunity to mention that her new class Art Journaling Super Nova (I love that name!) is starting soon. It will be informative and fun - you can see the promo video
here. One more thing - visit her
blog for a chance to win one of the classes for free.

Satruday. Added the shade picture. I have been enjoying this shade all summer. I'm glad that this made me take a photo of it.
I should have wrote that I love shadows, not shades on the next one...
Hooray! I think that people who see me doing this must think I am a crazy person, but I check my plants EVERY day for new buds, leaves or growth.. I am addicted to growth..I LOVE that your tree has red leaves at the beginning..can't wait to see the changes..

Little pink leaves and then beautiful green ones. I'm sitting here wondering what kind of tree it is. Beautiful full growth and lots of nice shade. It's a beauty.
