A LITTLE BIT OF SHADE....

   
This is the silk floss tree that grows in our front garden..

We said that we

 needed some shade...


It started its life in a wee plastic pot....
and now we've created a monster!!
     
  .


 what were we thinking?
you might be saying...



I thought that this looked like a little bird... 
                                                                            



emerging from its glossy green bark...

 But in spite of its gargantuan proportions,

and those ginormous thorns....




it has a poetic beauty...




 a seasonal splendor that contiually changes.
and does indeed provide us with shade...






And also a heck of alot of comments..
