Pictures to start the week with

Weather finally cooperated and I was able to get out and take some pictures. Still processing them and have quite a few to go through, so this is just a *taste* of what I was able to take this weekend.
*This* is a cherokee rose that is in my back yard. It started out as a rooted cutting with a stem not much bigger than a pencil. It is now over 30 feet long, about 12 feet tall and about 5 feet thick. We are planning on taking this baby down to the ground and starting all over again (it will root a vine hits the ground). You do NOT feed this monster!
Legend of the Cherokee Rose
When the Trail of Tears started in 1838, the mothers of the Cherokee were grieving and crying so much, they were unable to help their children survive the journey. The elders prayed for a sign that would lift the mother’s spirits to give them strength. The next day a beautiful rose began to grow where each of the mother’s tears fell. The rose is white for their tears; a gold center represents the gold taken from Cherokee lands, and seven leaves on each stem for the seven Cherokee clans. The wild Cherokee Rose grows along the route of the Trail of Tears into eastern Oklahoma today.
