Photo of Week: Livermore's 'Golden' Tree Blossoms

LIVERMORE, CA — Resident Glenn Stewart shared this lovely photo of a 'Golden Rain' tree growing between the Yin Yin Restaurant and Panama Red Coffee Company.

"Falling blossoms may or may not resemble 'golden rain', but the fallen blossoms often form an attractive golden carpet under the tree," Stewart said. "Flowers give way to interesting, brown, papery seed capsules which somewhat resemble Chinese lanterns."

The Koelreuteria paniculata are native to eastern Asia.

Cell phones capture amazing images. True DSLR cameras render detail that almost looks surreal.If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we’d love to feature it on Patch.

We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.

So, bring ‘em on.
