Glow-in-the-dark tree

Although it's November, Tuesday and Wednesday seemed like late summer days with record 80 degree temperatures. Here, in all of its fall glory, is a large, golden-colored maple tree located in the front yard of the Dick and Peggy Lawrence home on West North Avenue. The nighttime photo, taken Wednesday night, shows a hint of redbud on the left, still with green leaves. An American flag slowly flutters in the foreground of the scene. The Lawrences light the flag and tree each evening. (Monty Siekerman photo)
