This Sunday I would like to introduce you to one of the larger trees in our neighborhood. It has the stateliness of a true monarch. Its commanding presence dominates all of the trees around it. This picture was taken in November of 2011 when our fall season was reaching its color peak, and this tree even dominated the smaller trees with their splashy colors.

As always, many thanks to Becca Givens for continuing her sponsorship of the Sunday Tree challenge. Every week we are treated to marvelous pictures of trees from around the globe. Catch this weeks entries at her blog “On Dragonfly Wings with Buttercup Tea” by following the link.
