A few more pics for you guys (under the cut) -

The first three are of a rose in our front yard. I took these in the morning when there was dew on the rose:





Then here is the Ginkgo Tree again, but with more yellow in the color.






Here is the rose again, but a few days later and in the afternoon:

What a gorgeous rose! It

What a gorgeous rose! It looks lovely with the dew drops.

Your ginkgo looks so happy and healthy too. Just out of curiosity, how often does your ginkgo bear fruit?

Absolutely stunning! The

Absolutely stunning!
The first and two last ones are truly spectacular, such vivid colour and you managed to capture it! I always had trouble adjusting the contrast on my camera...
It's just so beautiful, the way those dew-or-rain drops adorn it... *sigh* just beautiful TwT

Trigger - I'm not exactly

Trigger - I'm not exactly sure, I never knew it was fruit-bearing. So it might have been producing fruit but I never knew, or it might be one that doesn't for some reason. Sorry, I know that's a sucky answer...

Chickenwhite - Thanks XD When I saw the dew on it, I had to get a picture of it. I was surprised how quickly it bloomed, too.

Well, we've noticed

Well, we've noticed occasionally that they bear these little crab-apple like fruits that, when they are all over the ground, end up smelling horribly. xD

I was just curious about it, since we were trying to figure out if they need fertilization in order to bear the fruit, or if they do it at a regular time.

Ah well, internet research it is! ^^

Edit: Research states that they technically, do not bear fruit! In fact what looks like fruit are the seeds themselves, simply fleshier than normal. And it does take fertilization for them to produce these seeds, so it could simply be that your tree is not in an area where it can receive pollen from other trees.
