Chestnut Tree in Bloom


Picture of the Day for 5/26/2011. I was driving home yesterday and was struck by the quality of the afternoon light and how it illuminated my neighbor's tree. By the time I got out of the car to take a picture, the moment had passed. The effort wasn't completely wasted since it occurred to me that in all my years, I have never paid attention to a chestnut tree in bloom. It's a very impressive sight. As I was writing this blog entry, I had to conduct a google image search to verify I had correctly identified the tree. I never would have made it as a naturalist.
