This beautiful tree is the granddaughter of my grandmothers tree. See my grandparents have this pretty tree and it drops seeds and grows more. They dug up a baby one and gave it to my mother. When hers dropped seeds and little saplings started to sprout I got one of those. It took a few years but it finally started producing the fuzzies. I love these pink fluffy things because the attract butterflies. Maybe I'll get a few shots of butterflies soon.
These 2 pictures were taken within minutes of each other. The first one had direct sun light pouring on it like a spot light. The second one was fully shaded, and taken with a slower shutter speed. The slightest shift in angle and camera settings can produce a completely different image. Just another reason I love what I do!
