When I came home from school on Friday, I found the unraked leaves with raindrops on the undersides of some of them. I saw the orange tree leaves glowing like embers, with the water drops at their tips.
My driveway needs to be raked.
But if it were raked, I would have missed these jewels.
The heart shaped leaves are from the Eastern Redbud tree.
Here is an updated article from Happy DIY Home about the care for your Redbud trees.
the fronts of the leaves are wet all over. The backs of the leaves, the water beads up.
Below, a single leaf on the Eastern Redbud that Ginny planted as a memorial to my parents. A lone water drip at the tip.
Enjoy the extra hour [of sleep] tonight: rest your eyes that are so alert!!!!! XOXOXO
Exquisite! Especially the first shot!
Lovely.
Gorgeous! I love the green leaf with the spot!
These are all stunning Ruth! Fab DOF in the last one.
Glad you did’nt wake. Colorful pictures.
I meant rake.
Beautiful pictures – raking is definitely overrated!
Wow, Ruth! Breathtaking and smile-bringing shots. 🙂
Thank you Nandini :-). Nice words
True beauty – great capture
Incredibly beautiful!, Ruth! 🙂
Love the photos – especially the last one and the orange tree leaves.
Lovely pictures… I try to capture the drops, but I don’t get any good ones… These are magnificent…
Beautifully captured, Ruth. I, too, planted an Eastern Redbud on my parents’ property before their home. It, along with the bulbs I planted around its base, blooms every Spring. 🙂
Beautiful!
These are stunning pics! What beauty nature provides – and you immortalize.
