dawn redwood

Thanks to dbarronoss and a booklet I found of trees on the Miami University campus, I now know this is a dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) This one had been planted on the campus of Miami University (OH). The species is found in China and for many years was thought to be exinct, but now the seeds have been shared from the population in China and it is a popular tree for arboretums and botanical gardens.

 

I decided to challenge myself to take 5 pictures that I liked during the break between sessions today at my conference in Oxford, OH. Here's one of them.
