TreeFeathers | Shaft bristles Close and tight Epidermal growth |
A
t a roadside rest stop in western Tennessee sits these three trees. I like their flat shapes juxtaposed against the increasingly stormy sky. I am not sure of their species, but suspect it could be identified solely by the distinctive growth profile. If I get the opportunity to be in the area during the summer season, I will revisit the site and check out the leaves.
