Smoke Sky ~ Day 203

I was out looking at flowers and trees in my yard. I noticed while low to the ground looking at petals, the top of my smoke tree looked great reaching for the sky. A beautiful blue sky. I will post more of the smoke bush later. It is an evergreen bush that comes back every year. It has the coolest blooms. It is grown as a large shrub or small tree, the plant offers oval leaves in shades of rich purple, gold, or green through the gardening season.  The birds often build nests in this one. Cool because it is right outside my front window.

Have a great day everyone. Have errands to run but will be back shortly.

  1. I have yes! This tree gave me some trouble when trying to find the desert version. This kept on coming up in the search, but an old timer told me the name of the desert one. Love this shot!

    • Thanks Kim, I will post a full shot, this was just a moment I thought was nice since we have had so much rain lately. Finally a blue sky but hot temperatures. Always something. 🙂

  2. I had to look that one up too. Don’t believe I have ever seen that kind of tree before and was surprised to learn it is in the cashew family.
