Black Locust

Black Locust, Robinia pseudoacacia, stands in a few locations around the lake. As we move into bare tree seasons, I'm hoping to spend some time with bark, twigs, and buds. Guides using only these properties express great confidence with identifications. I will be taking the opportunity to work with lighting to better express depth and hopefully offer uncommon perspectives.

Doesn't Black Locust really look like a member of the pea family? As far as I can tell, those pink flowers are simply a variety in the same species. At this time, there are clouds of white blossoms around the lake and very, very few pink ones.
