I love this time of year everything is so lush. In a few months the heat will squelch the growth, but now it's just beautiful. This is the view from my backyard. Carolyn and Nate are surveying a giant Tulip Poplar... the scale tells the story. My alternate image is a Dawn Redwood found on the William and Mary campus. One of the beautiful aspects of the College's grounds is the different tree species planted around campus. (Click for Tour)
