Beautiful Leaf Buds






I took pictures of these leaf buds just sprouting from the branches. They are so beautiful!
The picture below is a Red Buckeye tree. This tree is a Texas native. It blooms red flowers in the spring.


The picture below is also a Red Buckeye. The camera is aimed directly into the center of the leaf bud rather than a side view as in the picture above. Interesting-looking, very sensual.



This next picture is a Minnie Royal Cherry tree. I love the soft green and pink of the new growth. And the interesting shapes - fuzzy and wrinkled.



Take a look at the trees in your own landscape. All shrubs and trees are undergoing a beautiful transformation right now. It is an amazing show.
