We have a beautiful really old mesquite tree in our backyard. Unlike other places, our trees tend to widen into a canopy instead of going straight up. This particular one covers over half of our yard and is absolutely gorgeous.

They had been shopping for a wedding gift all afternoon. The registry was useless–things were either too practical or too expensive. Finally they found a print that they thought would be a good gift.
