There is something sad about that little green stalk trying to fight its way out of the parking lot concrete...Life really does find a way. The tree you see is right in front of my office building. I think it is one of the prettiest ones of the season. Two days after this photo was taken, ALL of the leaves were gone! I had a premonition I needed to take the photo right away. I was loaded with books and papers, bags and camera...I set everything down and snapped this photo. Hope you enjoy both!
