Lonely Ginkgo in a Foggy Forest
Over 50 years ago my mother-in-law started this Ginkgo from a seed picked up on the grounds of a hospital in Philadelphia. She brought it back and planted it across the drive from her farm house in central PA.

BEAUTIFUL photo!!! I love the cool yellow against the cool blues.
The story of the ginko seed is uplifting, too. How many seeds have I had the chance to gather but think, "Nah. It'll never take root." Silly me.
Thanks.
