Category: A Daily Tree

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This tree saw much rain, turning the ice-road back into slush-road.

We had a longer-than-normal day in town today, with a doctor’s appointment for Art before the regular Thursday shopping thing.

This tree has apparently put in a request for additional snow. The request was granted this morning, here in the Rockpit suburbs.

This tree was right there along the main drag during rush hour, here in the downtown part of our Rockpit megalopolis.

This tree believed itself to be eccentric.

This tree was alongside an icy road.

This tree was enjoying some sun.

It was cold and windy, though.

This tree is a coast redwood tree that I planted last year. It is cold.

I worked on my bucket list. It goes like this (this is a joke).

My bucket list

• 1. Buy a bucket
• 2. Think of stuff to put in bucket
• 3. Fail to come up with ideas
• 4. Find receipt
• 5. Return bucket
• 6. Take a nap

This tree loitered behind a pile of rocks.

The neighbors’ dog returned from her Ketchikan junket, which was nice, so I walked the dog.

This tree is a guest tree from my past. It was a tree with a regimented lifestyle. The picture was taken a few block from my apartment in Ilsan, South Korea, in January, 2017.

This tree was next to a house.

This tree supervised a frozen wasteland.

This tree was watching a parade of ghosts.

[daily log: walking, 2km;]

This tree was there as sunlight finally touched the snow-covered ground on lot 73.

[daily log: walking, 2km; snowshoveling, .5hr]

This tree noticed an eagle down on the dock’s arch, looking disgruntled.

[daily log: walking, 2km; snowshoveling, 2hr]

This tree was outside the window.

We skipped our trip to town for Thursday “shopping day” due to poor road conditions. We have well-stocked cupboards, so we’ll not starve.

This tree was along side the main drag in town yesterday, as I took this picture looking out the window at the store where I work, at the Thompson House (supermarket) across the street. I wanted to capture the Minnesoteque scene.

Today, in fact, I didn’t go to work, as normally scheduled. The road has gotten very bad and treacherous with ice and slush, and only foolhardy or brave people were driving on it. We got a total of more than a foot of snow over the last 2 days, but then today we got more than an inch and a half of rain on top of the snow. Slushforest, indeed!
