110 days late and a few shades off

[OT from cottage renovations]

valentine's day came and went months ago.  though as usual I did not participate, our trees have produced their own delayed observance as seen this morning. 

• in the Circle the redbuds have put forth their customary heart shaped leaves, seen here in nontraditional (for the event, not the tree) green with edges delineated by backlit morning sunlight. 
   
• at the edge of Howard Park on the grounds of the Town Hall stands a grove whose trees are planted in memory (or honour, for the living) of those who have made a mark upon the Town.  this fine American Redbud honours Carol Uhlendorf.  when viewed downlight its leaves are more of a russet or magenta but from the other side they take on a red hue that complements the shape quite nicely.

I'm going to have to learn how you posted those photos side-by-side like that.

Oh, I most certainly DID like the photos. Red's my favorite color, so I'm partial to any tree that adorns itself in any variation of that.

Noted about the effect. I may try it out on a near-future entry.
