re: #4 publicityStunted

I can :) Love the freaky military-camo patterns in the third pic!

_{Hope it doesn’t mean the tree’s diseased though…}

It’s not diseased. It’s probably in the crepe myrtle family as they have bark like that, but I honest;y can’t remember what it looks like in the spring when it’s blooming (and I haven’t the slightest clue what the names of most of the trees around here are anyway).

It’s really astonishing how drastically some of them transform through the seasons. I go nuts with the camera every spring too, heh.
