pink blooms :: nature photography

there is a weeping cherry tree on the university of illinois campus that i have admired for years.  it can easily go unnoticed until this time of year when it is the brightest, most beautiful thing in a 10 mile radius.  i love it and i go visit it each year.  i even hug it.

do you have a favorite tree?  i can think of a few that have grown with me and mean something special.  ones i climbed as a child, ones i have taught my boys to climb, ones i planted when young, ones that i swung under, ones that i photographed, ones that have fallen and i made a clubhouse out of their trunk...

you should photograph your favorite tree and send it to me.  i would love that.  xoxo
