Inspired by a woodland hike under the first blue skies we've seen this year, I got home and showed my kiddo how to draw an tree with recursive functions. The shape is very sensitive to parameters like the factors by which each branch is thinner and shorter than its parents, but we tuned them until our results looked like the trees we'd seen in the afternoon.
