CameraShy Week 9: Roots

This is a picture of the roots of the crepe myrtle in my backyard. If you know anything about crepe myrtles, you know that they should be cut down each year in the early spring to keep them the correct size. No one did that with this one and when we moved it was already the size of a regular tree. It takes it longer to flower each year, but when it does it's a beautiful purple. The roots spread all over the yard, popping up out of the ground.
