This tree captured my interest from afar - it is a rare sight to see such a grand blooming one in August. This is a Crepe Myrtle also known as Lagerstroemia. July and August are a blooming season for these trees - usually covered in beautiful foliage in addition to flowers that range from dark burgundy to almost white pink.
But this one either by nature or nurture has fewer leaves than flowers, and instead of one trunk, there are many - dancing with each other - creating support for a wide canopy. I used my watercolor and gouache set and some Neocolor II crayons from Carand'ache.
