Here is a photo of a tree that I liked on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was like a lonely sentinel standing watch over the rolling hills below (at least in my overactive imagination). Tree by YouFreeMe posted May 26, 2018 at 1:16 PM
Madrone Tree This is my favorite local tree species. They keep leaves all winter long, the bark is a striking red hue, and when the bark peels the trunk turns lime green. The bark is smooth like a baby's ass.
Japanese maple on my front lawn at sunrise....this tree is framed perfectly out my front door window....whoever planted it anted it to be seen
