@Monte: I’ve normally see it as two words “Crape Myrtle” but the included reference from Clemson University and others have it listed as one word..so I did in my post. Not sure which is the most proper?

Nice crop on the top image, eliminating the sky and love the contrast between the green and red/pink colors. I’ve never heard of the tree and wonder how you say it ( I know Google-it.)

@Paul: I also like the trunks and did make several trunk shots–those may show up later. Yes, the colors are remarkable this year–perhaps it has to due with a wetter and milder spring then usual.

The next time that you get a chance, look at the trunks of these trees. I’ve always liked the trunks as a photographic subject. I just love the smoothness of it. These guys are certainly bursting with color!
