3. Tree of IMPD:
Cindy Black

Thank you to Cindy Black to submitting this majestic photo! Here's what she had to say:

"The tree I photographed is located at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in the Tanaguchi Japanese garden. I believe it’s a red oak. I hadn’t noticed this particular tree before, and in fact this IMPD virtual day gave me the opportunity to explore the Japanese gardens since I hadn’t visited in several years."
