[Leica] Tuesday Trees

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  As many know February brought very unusual cold to most
of Texas.  Everyone was worried that even the native species wouldn't
survive; this vibrant willow was a counterpoint:

Taken earlier it still reminds me of summer sun in Austin:

Drought is a fact of life in large swaths of the planets surface, the piece
of the world has had minimal rain for years so even hardy trees haven't
survived:
