Trees #53–54

 This is a flowering tree in our backyard, that unfortunately, I think,

is dead. Later this spring, we'll see. We had a searing 100+ summer

last year, and we weren't vigilant enough to keep the trees watered.

The lower branches are broken off, but do hold two bird feeders,

which I neglected to draw. I should go back and do that. 2-24-12

This is a dogwood tree outside our livingroom window. The weather has been warm, many daytime temps in the 50s, so it's beginning to bud. I probably should refine this sketch a little more, too. 2-25-12
