Katsura
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 27 November 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
This Katsura tree (cercidiphyllum japonicum) is beautiful to be sure. However, it has another treat in store. The leaves that have fallen have a sweet smell of burnt sugar. Quite pleasant.

Whouaaah, as I appreciate. It is true that everything is, the tree, branches still with leaves, and all these leaves on the ground, perfect and full composition there. Besides, the play of light is excellent and got in the idea to give the time as the mark for this photo Bravo ;)
