American Sweetgum

Although this year they didn't show their best, I still love seeing sweetgum leaves.  My parents had one in their front yard.  Raking up the dried gum balls (fruit) was not fun.  Lots of interesting info here if you're interested. 

Thanks for all the kindness on yesterday's blip and extras.  I was delighted to share them with you.  I haven't had a chance to thank everyone personally yet. x
