On my way to the bridge for yesterday’s picture, I came across this tree, which really struck me as the white bark offered such an excellent contrast to the pure blue sky. You can see this tree for yourself. It’s in Ray’s Meadow park in Silver Spring (Sprung). Of course I can’t just put a picture up without some significance to Maryland, and the fact that is planted in Maryland, is a bit of a cheap way out. So, here’s another link. If you would like to purchase a beautiful birch tree, just like the one here (eventually), for your community, park, or organization you can do so through the “Treemendous Maryland” program. This is a great government program designed to help people use the proper trees in the proper places and to encourage planting more of them. It’s worth visiting this site just to see their mouse pointer graphic.
