American linden tree is the native eastern North American species of linden, also known as basswood. The American linden is a stately, tall tree, growing to more than 100 feet. It has gray to brown bark and large, saw-toothed, heart-shaped, deciduous leaves. The leaves are dark green above and pale beneath, turning yellow or yellow-green in the fall. The yellow flowers would not be particularly noticeable without their pervading fragrance.(above from various internet sources) This tree started blooming around the first of July and the fragrance caught my attention as I entered and exited our condo building. I finally noticed the tree by the west side of the building and caught this shot in full bloom.

It's amazing what we find when exploring our home surroundings. A fine capture of the Linden in bloom and an informative narrative, Kathy.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Good capture of the tree in full bloom Kathy. Also the details are sharp and the lighting is bright without any overexposure.

I saw some of those up at Maumee Bay State Park yesterday...or something very similar. They are a very interesting looking tree. Excellent shot, Kathy.

Not known to me in Australia. Sounds like a wonderful addition to any garden.

What a beautiful shot and post work, I've seen these while on my walks and the fragrance is lovely but a little strong. Wonderful colours and lighting

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
