Description
I love red bud trees. To me, they are the most beautiful and delicate of the early spring flowering trees. I look forward to their beautiful purple and pink hues, and their wispy branches laden with little slipper-like blooms. It lifts my soul to find myself in a field full of these beautiful trees.
These particular trees were found on a bright warm spring day driving through Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois.
While I love looking at these trees, a photo capture that did them justice had eluded me. This day, I was on a quest.
I took many pictures of many trees, from many angles, in many locations throughout the grounds. This was one of my favorites, and hangs in my office, a reminder of the beauty of God's creation and the great gift it is for all to enjoy.

Loving your Spring collection, Joni! l/f
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks so much, Kay. Spring and fall are my two favorite seasons. I wish they would last longer, so we'd have these wonderful flowering trees or brilliantly colored leaves to enjoy. Glad I could give you a pleasant taste of spring to anticipate the real thing. Thanks for the visit!
