Leopard Tree

This is a Leopard tree which is rather common around here, and gives fantastic shade.

 

This is on of many along the edge of the local sports ground and park, and as Mrs Mail and I went by on our early morning walk, I noticed the sun was able to reflect back up to the branches lighting them up.

 

So I went back with the camera and returned, but the sunlight had diminished somewhat.

 

I left the camera face on the ground and took shots with/without flash, and processed them as HDR.

 

The breeze had moved the leaves slightly, so there is some lack of clarity, and I purposely edited it to look like it was out of an animated movie.

 

The Leopards seem to be at their peak in April and provide a huge shaded area for the childrens playground part of the park.
