Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Redbud. It's Oklahomas state treee, where I live, yes I have one and yes they are everywhere here. There are known for their pinkish red flowers in the spring.

I will say this photo has had help with the "effect " while the gradient is noticeable, typically not this much. Though when young they will definitely make you think you're seeing double

Heres one i planted in my front yard. It should grow to be around 20 to 25 ft tall

I wonder what impressionist painters thought about this plant.

It looks like shell rendering in computer graphics. Some (all?) hedges in GTA V look very close to this when you zoom in.

Ugh. Poor unskilled photographer doesn't even have the frame in focus. Look how blurry that bush looks! It's almost as pixelated as an Asians genitals!
