Checking on Ruby

We've been having quite a dry spell so I decided to check on Ruby, the tree that Carolyn and I planted in the nearby park in 1999. All is good. Ruby has grown immensely and clearly has nice deep roots now, so she'll be fine :)

Looks like Ruby is thriving… nice patterns in the branches.

What a lovely shot - Love the dark sturdy tree trunk and branches creating a pattern against the sunlight filtering through the beautiful fresh green leaves !

You've def. got Ruby's good side Heather, the sun is shining through the dappled leaves.

[Diana]

Ruby is thriving and looking ever so healthy! Beautiful shot looking up through the leaves. I am also interested in Brian's question ;-)

Very pleased to hear, lovely capture.

I am full of admiration that you planted such a beautiful tree. Now it repays you with beautiful colors and lots of shade.

[Nina Ganci]

wow! Ruby has sure grown very well in 20 years. Seems to be very happy in her new place

This is almost abstract, I think the B&W version will work well too.

@kvphoto @beryl @pyrrhula @365projectorgjoworboys @tinley23 @bkbinthecity @ludwigsdiana @boxplayer @haskar @ninaganci @carolmw @yaorenliu @wendyfrost Thank you, everyone, for your comments about my Ruby photo. Somewhere I have a photo with Ruby and me in her first year as a sapling. I could put one hand around her trunk! I can't believe how she has grown! And in answer to Brian and Diana, we planted Ruby on the occasion of our 15th anniversary. For our 40th I would like to get a bench, but that will require some negotiation :) :)

[bkb in the city]

@365projectorgheatherb Heather that is very nice. I trust it will work out to get the bench

[CC Folk]

How fabulous! What a wonderful tree that offers shelter, shade and oxygen! Fav.

I remember Ruby. She's looking magnificent.
