Category: A Daily Tree

This tree was working on its suntan.

This tree was leading a tangled life.

This tree was infested by a treehouse – I haven’t posted a picture of the treehouse in a while. Not that much has changed – I’ve left it dormant all winter. But the sun touched it this afternoon.

This tree caught some morning sun.

This tree sheltered a pair of yard chairs that faced the sea at the neighbors’ lot.

This tree was along a road that seemed to lead to a snow-covered Sunnahae Mountain (hint: it doesn’t).

This tree experienced puffy clouds in a bluing sky.

Chad was sick so I did a half-day at work today – not a normal Thursday occurrence. Then I went home, got Arthur, and drove back to town to do our normal Thursday shopping thing. This twice-to-town day reminded me that in fact the most tiring thing about my job is the commute – for whatever reason, I find the 8-mile, 30 minute drive fairly exhausting. Something about dodging some potholes and hitting others.

This tree was recorded under fresh snow and sun yesterday morning.

This tree had been suffering under the illusion that winter was over.

This tree was wet, down at the beach on lot 73.

I felt like my cold came back, after having gone into slight remission. So I didn’t get much done today. The sun came out for about 30 minutes and I went and planted some radishes in my greenhouse. But total rain for the day was nearly 2 inches. We’re getting a lot of rain.

This tree was flanking a small stream.

We’ve been getting a lot of rain. Not that that’s so strange – this is the Alaskan Rainforest. Over an inch just today (so far – there are still some hours left in the day).

This tree was hanging around on a cliff along the road at the six-mile hill.

This tree was uncertain as to which season to celebrate.

This tree is a guest-tree from my past. This tree is in front of my childhood home, looking toward the front porch. I wasn’t sure when I took this picture. I figured it wasn’t on my last visit there, last Fall. I thought it might have been in either 2018 or 2009 – one of my two previous visits there. But then I checked the picture’s metadata, and lo, it was taken in August of 2007, which was definitely a time I visited there (I suspect I took this photo at the same time as the one in this blog post). I wonder how I managed to run across it now in one of my rather random “let’s organize my computer a little bit” moments?

Work at the gift store was more tedious than usual today – probably because I’m still not feeling well.

This tree (small, foreground) was a tree I planted two years ago, I think. Unlike most of the trees I’ve planted on my lot, it seems to be doing fine through our long, vague winter – it probably helps that it’s not an exotic but a local species, just not on my lot: some kind of pine that is mostly found in the muskeg areas.

This tree was lightly frosted.

This tree stayed behind a barrier of rocks.

I’ve been feeling quite “under the weather” the last few days: sore throat, congestion, more sneezing than usual, feverish. I was sufficiently worried that I did a home Covid test – it says I don’t have it. I didn’t think so, but it’s prudent to check, I guess. Probably just some kind of flu or cold. But I’ve been feeling lousy and not terribly productive, though I continue to make progress on trying to lessen the footprint of my various servers (blogs and map servers).

This tree was by a still-frozen pond.

This tree caught some unexpected morning sun.

This tree was out there.

This tree bid adieu to the sun.

[daily log: walking, 5km; retailing, 8hr]

This tree noticed a bluish tint in the sky.

This tree is among others.

You can see the treehouse in the distance. The snow is completely gone – at least among the trees.

[daily log: walking, 2.5km;]

This tree is looming above the treehouse. I pointed my camera straight up for this picture.

This tree waited for more snow to melt.

This tree noticed the neighbor’s dock pilings had received an arch on top.

I’m not sure when this happened – it was done somewhat sneakily. One day, no arch. Another day, arch. I guess it was done via boat – that’d be necessary to get access to the pillars. So they left no trace and I guess it happened when I wasn’t around or wasn’t paying attention, and Art, of course, is deaf enough these days that he probably wouldn’t have heard or noticed unless he happened to look out.

This tree thought the “first day of spring” was a scam.

[daily log: walking, 4km; retailing, 8hr]

This tree was by an open field, and the sea.

[daily log: walking, 4.5km; dogwalking, 3.5km]

This tree had a misty, melty day.

After walking the neighbors’ dog this morning, I stayed in and rebuilt my blog and messed with data and made my Chilean-style fish chowder for dinner.

This tree was beside the still-frozen pond at 8.5 mile.
