THE TREE #9

This is the ninth posting in the series “THE TREE” which follows the life of a special Honey Locust tree in the Gardens at Waters East.  If you have not read the first posting, it might be most helpful for you to do that.  Go to the archives in this Blog and check out the posting – Beginnings - found on March 7, 2014.  Reading this short introduction will put this tree, this posting, and future postings in proper perspective.  It will be helpful.

This posting looks at THE TREE with a focus on the seed pods as the season now comes to a close.  Notice how they have changed these weeks since the last posting.  The gardens are now approaching their final moments of the season so do enjoy the photos as time moves us into the final months of the year.      These pictures were all taken since the last posting about THE TREE.

Enjoy your visit to - THE TREE

  2. I agree: That arch is fabulous! What a great idea to photograph the tree multiple times throughout the fall. Honey Locusts are underappreciated, I think. Ours give our property so much character. And yours adds beauty to your views, too!

  3. Lovely arch Jack! What is this tree? I think it's PARTHENOCISSUS. Isn't it?

  5. I missed you AGAIN this summer! But wasn't it a cold and rainy one? Back in BR now and from the looks at the weather, we got out just in time.
    Hope you are well; will try again in the spring! Nancy
