Through the looking glass

The crape myrtle in front of our house is in full bloom, even now, more than a month after this picture was taken. We planted it when we returned from Saudi Arabia in 2016, and it’s turned into a beautiful, enormous tree.

Excellent framing using the window to show off this beautiful crape myrtle. The widow is also very attractive on its own. Sharp presentation. Vote
