Although I'm rarely down at the Botanic Garden right now, I reflect back on previous Januaries. Late one afternoon (1/21/16, actually), I came across this fellow on the ground in full daylight.
He was sifting through the leaves looking for fallen and possibly fermented crabapples. The trees are on the S-path that joins the High Desert Rose Garden with the Sasebo Japanese Garden. In two or three months, they'll be bursting with color as they bloom. One of the first trees to show color, they herald the coming of the cherry blossoms.
