No more bright lime-green spring leaves for this elm. It was once a majestic and stately tree, dominating the area in the upper barnyard where it sits. It’s been dead as long as I can remember but I absolutely love it.
Juicy, full of life, springing forth with exuberance. Called Japanese Knotweed, it shot out of the ground a couple years ago, and grows about 3 feet a year. It’s nuisance and I will probably take the pruners to it before long. 
Disparity. Contrast. Antipodean. Oppugnant. Contrariety. Incongruous.
I like to break out the Thesaurus on a Friday morning.
a great contrast indeed. beautiful shots
Oh I love those words, they are so mouth moving satisfying. And the pix is good too ;-)
As a self-proclamed word geek – the thesaurus is a wonderful friend! Love your words today!
beautiful photos.
The tree almost looks like it has antlers.
Okay …. you can knock it off! I’ve told you that I like it when you upgrade my vocabulary …. but one word at a time please! (And I’m not even at work where I have my nifty difty toolbar dictionary.
I hope you had a good visit with my Dad today. I’m home today helping a college son try and find a 2nd summer job and spending time with him.
We have a dead tree also which should come down but I love the way it looks. It does sprout some leaves but not like it should. I wish I had your picture taking talent!!
God Bless~

Holy vocabulary, Batman! Those words rock!
Love those words, but I think I love the tree even more.
