This weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada so she is sending this to a few people.

At 1,990 square meters (about half an

Flamboyant Tree, Brazil

The flamboyant tree is endemic to

Madagascar, but it grows in tropical areas around the world.

Dragonblood Trees, Yemen

The dragonblood tree earned its fearsome

name due to its crimson red sap, which is used as a dye and was used as a

violin varnish, an alchemical ingredient, and a folk remedy for various

ailments.

The President, Third-Largest Giant Sequoia

Tree In The World, California

President, located in Sequoia National

Park in California, stands 241 ft (73m) tall and has a ground circumference

of 93 ft (28m). It is the third largest giant sequoia in the world (second

if you count its branches in addition to its trunk).

Maple Tree Tunnel in Oregon

Rainbow Eucalyptus In Kauai,

Hawaii

The rainbow eucalyptus, which grows

throughout the South Pacific, is both useful and beautiful. It is prized for

both the colorful patches left by its shedding bark and for its pulpwood,

which is used to make paper.

Jacarandas in Cullinan,

South Africa

These beautiful Jacarandas, with their

violet flowers, grow in South Africa.

This avenue of oak trees was planted some

time in the 1790s on Dixie Plantation in South Carolina.

These baobabs in Madagascar are excellent

at storing water in their thick trunks to use during droughts.

I can add some recent New England color ... the season is underway here ...

and one leaf had turned and fallen on Turtle (my car), which is actually the dark green color you see on the shadow areas, and looked quite striking against the deep base and the reflected blue sky!
