Quaking Aspens

I want to take a moment to appreciate quaking aspens, easily my favorite tree. I walked to the school building this morning and was overwhelmed by the beauty of the aspens which tend to burst into a crown of April green earlier than any other tree around here. I love their pristine silver tree trunks and the way the leaves jitter and spring alive at the slightest breeze. I love how they're the largest single organisms on the planet, several trees sharing the same root system over hundreds of square kilometers. Behold the beauty!
