that when I saw this photo, I thought for sure there was a hidden animal (bug, bird, frog, lizard, oxen, fox with apple, crocodile, etc) somewhere in the "Crimson Queen" leaves....

I just thought the red leaves where so pretty reflecting the sun. The photo didn't show what the eye saw.
There is a salamander that lives under an old piece of petrified wood, it sits up by the trunk of the tree.

Lynn it really is a great flashy red!

Thank you Greg. I really love that tree, Cliff gave it to me many years ago for Mother's Day.
