Don't judge a tree during the fall.....

So when we first moved in to this house I was not thrilled at our tree in the front yard I mean it looked like this.......
It had all these little brown pods on it and no leaves.......it was just something I have never seen before....Come to find out later after a little help from Ri and a few books......Our tree in the front yard is a Crape Myrtle.....and they are all over down here....Anyway they come in a bunch of different colors and sizes.....So I stand corrected I am thrilled to have this tree in our front yard.....these were taken today....there are TONS more blooms that haven't opened yet.....Just love this tree.....
