It's a pleasure to actually see a tree go from its leafless winter state to its full green glory in summer. There's a wonderful tree that grows right out on the backyard of the brownstone I call my office. Because I'm a floor up and have access to a balcony, I can not only see this miracle unfold every year, but touch it's young soft leaves as it goes through it life cycle.
I'm no botanist, and living in the tropics for most of my life, where plants and trees are always in full bloom, it's only natural to be fascinated and want to record this simple event we take all too for granted. This tree has obviously been here for many decades, possibly older than I am. So why not show it some respect.
These images were taken only 2 weeks apart. I must remember to shoot it again next week and the following times it begins looking fuller and become glorious.
