Mimosa Tree

This is an cool looking tree that is in our front yard. Dan looked it up online and found out it is called a mimosa tree. The pink/white "feather duster" looking things grow very fast. I noticed that it looked like flowers one morning and by the afternoon it looked like the "feather dusters".
The "feather dusters" are all the way up the branch.

They start out looking like this and then bloom.



It has been really cool to watch this tree. I was afraid that Daniel wouldn't get to see them because I notice them blooming last week when he was a camp. But they just continue to bloom day after day. The "feather dusters" do die out quickly as they bloom. I never have seen anything like this before but I really like it.
