A tree I met today.

For a good while my camera has rested for a number of reasons. But I had it at hand today when I met this gorgeous tree as I got out of my car.
These are the result of a half a minute. I’m glad I took them, and I’m glad that I’ll be back to taking photos. It’s a given.

Well the oldest one. Over 500 years. Previous owner had it drilled. The others are youngsters of only 200 or so. The thing is when I moved here all the yards had trees like that. But with each change of neighbor they take them down. I have had 2 neighbors attempt to "help me" by send people over to cut my tree down while I was at work but for some reason came home. I basically told them if they tried I would kill them slowly and painfully. Each new neighbor over the years has encroached on my property and taken down a tree that was close to the border claiming it was on their property or they were doing me a favor. Most people are assholes. Sorry but it is true. They don't want to rake so they cut down trees and then complain about their air-conditioned bill. Educated professional assistance holes.


Sorry summer is coming in have to deal with them again.

I once met a tree while walking on my college campus. I was going toward my car and had my nose buried in a book at the same time. A huge live oak tree shadow crossed over me and I looked up at its branches and said, "Hello you gorgeous tree!". Little did I know, a group of people were sitting on the other side of the tree and started laughing at me. I was embarrassed at first but then realized that I was always loving on live things and it was ok. #?Bernie2016‬ ‪#?FeelTheBern‬ #?releasethetranscripts‬ ‪#?wherearethetranscripts‬

Glad you're back to your camera.


I may go out to my big old tree for different perspective.

I love trees.

Have been wondering where you were. Nice to see you out with the camera again.
