Well, not long before March 17, the seedpod finally broke off the young Honey Locust tree, exposing the internal strands.

4/9/19 update: This young tree which I spent so much time with over years, was bulldozed out of existence while they laid new sewer pipe on this section of Rock Creek. I don’t blame them. It was closer to the pathway than many of the trees and had big thorns but I will miss stopping to closely examine its development throughout the years.
