One of the most beautiful trees in the neighborhood, and one of my favorites, is the very large tree at the corner of Mama Kay‘s yard. as one can tell from the photographs, it fills up quite an amount of space as its large limbs reach out in all directions.

This tree remains 85% full until the last minute of the season and then immediately dumps its entire fullness. It’s always a race with the clock to get the leaves moved over to the easement on Rockhill Avenue in time for the city’s leaf vacuum to haul away.
