Backlit Gingko at Sunset

Murfreesboro,TN

I found this tree yesterday while shopping with Sherri. This tree is one of the only plants with NO living relative species. Their leaves are also unique and fan shaped. I prayed all evening after finding the tree, since, for once, I didn't have my camera with me yesterday. Gingkos have a characteristic that when their leaves start falling, they ALL fall...often within 24 hours. I am blessed to have returned in time to bring this China native to you...

I love Gingko , their color is amazing, and with this back light they are even more beautiful!!!

Very beautiful... the soft tones in the leaves are enhanced
by the back lighting, but not over-stated.

Very nice shape and colour to these leaves.
Very strange that all the leaves can fall within 24hrs, thanks for sharing this info with us. Nice composition.

This is a fine addition to your series and is special since you went to so much trouble to bring it to us. I must say, it was worth your effort. The color is uplifting.
