Red tree at morning

The day dawns bright and clear in open farm country in central Tennessee. Spring is beginning to take a firm foothold - plants are beginning to bud; many in bright hues of color, such as the red-tinged tree in this pasture.

I'm just returning from a visit to the sounth central U.S. and beginning to go through the many images I brought back with me. I'll be processing and posting over the next couple of weeks.
