Needless to say that it is in the spring that Our Golden Live Oak 'Quercus Virginiana Grand View Gold' is changing its color to look SPECTACULAR!
Our Golden Live Oak got planted on January 17, 1996... so it's 18 years old now.

This was on April 23... Glad we got these photos as we left for our Florida vacation on April 29...
Thought this is a perfect entry for my 1111th post!
From the front of the house, on the corner of the new tiled patio.
Front of the house with the striking GOLDEN Live Oak 'Quercus Virginiana Grand View Gold'...
Our Black Gum Nyssa Sylvatica to the right in the photo has not yet opened up its leaf buds.
Our Pot Plants on the Patio are growing in number.
Quite striking contrast with the different Acer trees we got.
One of our felines is sitting under the Palm tree.
The tree in the front is our Ulmus parvifolia - 'Drake' elm or Chinese elm.
And we are standing under the canopy of our Live Oak 'Quercus Virginiana'...
Exotic looking next to our palm (minus the Dish for our Satellite Internet)...
Drake elm in front and the Italian Cypress to the right.
Three Acers with best show of colors for spring.
From the left: Acer Negundo Kelly's Gold - Acer Rubrum and Acer saccharum Marshall or Sugar Maple tree. The very tree for the maple syrup!
Stepping back and looking now towards the street.
Sure enough there is always the presence of felines in our garden. Spunky is spotted to the left of the palm tree... Also a better view of our Drake elm to the right.
Our Spicy girl is walking on the concrete walkway.
Our Italian Cypress trees have grown quite tall.
Two oak trees next to each other in this photo. One is shedding all its leaves and this golden one just renews in the spring but is evergreen.
Do you like its GOLDEN leaves?
