Sketchbook #112: Thundercloud Plum Tree (aka purple leaf plum tree)

These magnificent blooming trees always make my spring extra special!
I have one under my window and track it progresses from bare branches to burgeoning buds to the gentle crocheted vale of pink flowers to a strong mane of putple leaves. And I never notice when this tree sheds leaves - somehow I never do - it's always a surprise to me when I see it's naked again :)

Read from left to right, morning to snack to evening. I changed pens a lot through this page 4 of them ran out of ink :)
