Description


---
During a Naturalist Walk in Peace Valley Park (Doylestown, Pennsylvania) two days ago,
----
The ranger stopped to admire this tree--he clearly favored it judging by the look on his face as he talked about it. Then he took one of the large leaves, folded it and removed bits of its flesh. He had made a tulip tree leaf into a smiling face!
----
This was the very last perfectly fresh blossom on the tree for this Spring
