This little sprig is barely thicker than a toothpick and only 6 or so inches tall, but it sprouted several full size leaves and is now about to shed them for autumn. Perhaps one day it will end up a full sized tree.
Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.
@Claudine/canelle: Thank you. I have visited your site and enjoyed your photos of Espelette. both the buildings and the red peppers. I was unable to find and place to entee comments.
