Happy (and very hot) Wednesday to You
This is an extremely warm week here in San Jose. Yesterday it was over 100°, so I suppose I should rejoice that today it will only be in the high 90°s! Needless to say, my walk will begin early.
This is from yesterday’s walk:

Elm
As I was walking today I saw two trees that were wonderfully green. It isn’t a typical green one sees on trees, and it was mostly blossoms rather than leaves. I got home and did a search and I’m rather sure it’s an elm (ulmas), although I don’t know what kind.
First Shot
While this isn’t a photo I would necessarily print, it’s the first shot. In addition, it’s a tree I only now identified so I’m happy about that. This is a Chilopsis, commonly called the Desert Willow. It’s a member of the Catalpa family, and up until today I just thought of it as a Catalpa tree. Turns out I was wrong. I love learning something new.
