The second and “Last Hurrah” pulled me in the most but I greatly enjoyed all of them. Ginkgos are just lovely and your geek out shows that perfectly. When I think of leaves as instruments, aspens are the ones that come to mind as their rustling is unmistakable and beautiful.

What a treat, Jane, a gallery of images of my favorite tree of all. Maybe the best part is that I suspect these are not the last wonderful ginkgo photos I’ll see from you. The knobby, curved branches in ‘Loud & Proud’ are very cool and look great against the blank canvas of a white sky. ‘Dreaming’ is indeed a dream, a fountain of ginkgo fans to fall into headlong. The glistening water beads are fresher than summer rain, the black and white is smoothly toned but roughly textured – a delight for the mind. ‘Curbside’ and ‘Carpeted’ remind me of the many times I reveled in the crisp gold of fallen ginkgo leaves, picking them up to compare the shapes, fascinated by the differences in each one. Long stem, short stem, wide fan, narrow fan, lobed or not, I love them all. You have pictured some sizable trees here! I can’t wait to get myself down to L.A. to reacquaint myself with these old friends. Thank you!

Hi Lynn, So glad you enjoyed these, as I know they are your favorite tree. Very true what you said about the variety of leaf shapes– nature’s details are astounding. Quite a few neighborhoods near us have Ginkgoes lining the streets which make for some exciting walks. Thanks so much for sharing in the love. 💛

This geeked out Gink (my high school nickname) loves my namesake Ginko trees and each and every one of these images, Jane. Our town planted one in the circle at the end of our street so I look forward to doing some captures of my own but until then can enjoy them whenever they are shared by you. I guess the tree guy in town didn’t think one of each gender was called for so I don’t know if I’ll see fertile seeds.

Ha, Steve, I remember your HS nickname now — I do post a lot of Ginkgoes in your honor. 🙂 I hope your new trees flourish. The fruit sure is messy and rather stinky – maybe you got both. So glad you enjoyed this homage and that it brought back good memories, Gink! 😄

Beautiful! Ginkgos always look like they were sketched out when the universe was just starting to think about trees,
maybe by someone’s kid, just a simple trunk and branches and a simple lovely design to the leaves.
