Marbled

 Sitting in front of the grocery store, I marveled at how beautiful the marbled effect of their sign was.




Isn't it pretty? But wait! The sign is really just plain red letters.

The marbled look is really the reflection of all the bare trees across the parking lot!


I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

P.S. Thank you all for identifying the tree as Star Magnolia! And also teaching me how I can right click to get an I.D.!!

From your photos, I would not have guessed!!

Oh wow, that is amazing. Maybe you could show your photos to the store owners and suggest they add marbling to their sign because it's so much prettier.

Isn't that something? I would have never guessed it was the reflection of trees. Have a good rest of the week, Ginny. It's really windy today, more than I've ever seen.

Now that was really interesting, Ginny, and how creative that you caught the marbling effect caused by the trees as I would not have known otherwise.
