Natural Sculpture

The trunk of a crepe myrtle is perfectly smooth, and the branches twist gracefully in a variety of angles. Later in the summer they will be covered in a mass of brightly colored flowers.

Oh this is beautiful, Allison! Love the b&w and the pov. Yes, it does look like a sculpture. Nature does it beautifully. Hope you show this when it's covered in flowers.

It's gorgeous in this stage.

This is really lovely- the twists and turns. Did you take a shot of some children climbing on one of these? I can see this picture in my mind but I can't remember who took it!

@olivetreeann Good memory Not this tree but it was a climbing picture http://365project.org/allie912/whatintheworld/2012-02-24

nice shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@allie912 That was the one! Interesting two totally different circumstances but in each case the way those trees grow make the picture so interesting.

cool growth pattern.

[Kate Doyle]

Great textures. I want to run my hand up and down those branches. Are they as smooth as they look?

[cglist]

Very cool find!
