I took this photo of the American beech tree because I just didn't like the photos that appeared on Google when I did a Google search for the American beech tree (native to parts of southeastern Canada and eastern United States). The googled photos were too small. I like to view large photos and to be able to zoom in on them for a clearer, close-up view. Anyway, I hope I did a better job with regards taking these photos. Unfortunately, it was a very windy day and the conditions were not ideal for picture taking.
