Birch White...........


The sun was peeking out from behind some clouds making the birch tree glow.  It is a beautiful tree year round but it seems whiter than I have ever seen it before.  The bark is so clear and clean.  The seed pods are starting to form creating those spiral textured decorations that swing in the wind. We had a beautiful warm spring day.

What a handsome tree. And just like the one we have in our front yard! :)

This birch came from a ditch on our property from northern Minnesota. It is the only real birch probably in the whole area. I am not sure why they are not planted more but the clump birch seems to be more popular. I am thinking the tree is over 30 years old.

  The flowers are getting a gentle rain this morning.  It  makes the soil and sub soil happier as our drought is less these days.
