[Leica] Tuesday Trees

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  We will not be exploring ice this week.  So we start
with a lost limb from long ago:

We took a trail a little further north along one of the creeks that cover
the Colorado River basin.  These next two images are of a very persistent
tree in a very poor environment:

This tree probably sprouted about the same time the roadway was completed:

This was about the buds on the tree in eary February:

This is an example of how much Austin loves their trees,  moving the road
bed around a mature tree:
