Thought I’d use one of the suggestions from my original theme list, and look at a tree in more detail. I have selected the cercis siliquastrum, widely known in the English speaking world as the Judas Tree. You can find more photographs of it here in one of my Portuguese posts.

Here are my trees: the backyard during the wildfires of last summer and fall in California.

i found your post. At least I found today’s post. It was there, just slipped in between two other posts.

Sounds like a good plan, and you can always tell your hubby it was my fault if you do get one!!!
