This photo is of a tree at Kubota Garden in Seattle, Washington. It was taken on July 7, 2007. Kubota Garden is a public garden that is now owned by the City of Seattle and maintained by the Department of Parks & Recreation. It was originally created and maintained for many years by Fujitaro Kubota.

This was from the Nursery Plantings section. Their brochure says of the Nursery Plantings "of bamboo, yew, birch, and other plants remain from the nursery days."

I don't know what kind of tree this is, but it stood out because of its color and its light, feathery leaves.
