a friend of mine was telling me that a guy had asked her, "if you were a tree, which would you be?"
interesting question. trees are actually fascinating. i learned a while back to appreciate them not only in the splendor of their blossom or greenery, but also in the winter when they are naked.
i thought i might have said a red cedar or a fringe tree or the orange tree at mobot... that's when i remembered it. i would be the tree pictured above. i used to know the name; it's a tri-colored something.
why? it's the only one i've ever seen. it's habit is beautiful and elegant, but full of curious twists and character. of course... the leaves. three colors... how many trees do you know that have leaves with three colors? it's a lovely tree in a shaded spot. i almost always find cardinals near or in it and i so enjoy cardinals.
in brief, yes, if i were a tree... this tree would suit me.
