A very common tree in the west, but I love everything about Populus fremontii (cottonwood) trees. I even like the snowstorm of cotton like seeds that rains down in the spring (it is messy though). In the fall, the yellow leaves contrast nicely with the dark bark. This tree is set against a background of sandstone near Utah's Capital Reef National Park.
