Caveat: Tree #1319 “The story of the hungry deer”

A Daily Tree / My Garden / My Photos

This tree in the foreground is a young oak tree I was trying to grow. It was doing well. It has been outdoors all summer, it had lots of leaves. I planted it in the ground about 5 weeks ago. Last night, some forest beast (I’m assuming a deer) came along and ate all its leaves, leaving only a few. I’m not sure it can survive this.

Caveat: Tree #1316 “Tree, road, dog”

This tree was alongside a road with a dog on it.

I spent the last 2 days trying to repair the wash down pump on the boat. I figured out that the pump actually still worked fine. And switch worked fine. The fuse seemed to have some problem, and there was something wrong with the electrical wiring. So I rewired stuff, bypassing what seemed to be the bad wiring and making a new branch off the wiring that provides power to the left-side downrigger.

It works – we can spray seawater in the boat, once again.

Caveat: Tree #1307

This tree was behind a bright red flower that finally realized it could bloom.

Arthur saw his follow-up with the cardiologist, today. Frankly, it was a bit anticlimactic – basically, the message boiled down to: “more data required, meanwhile just monitor things closely.”

The doctor placed a lot of emphasis on introspection – Arthur needs to pay close attention to how his pulse correlates with his general level of energy, his capacity for exertion, etc. Like that’s gonna happen – Arthur isn’t at all introspective (at least, to external appearances). I’m not sure Arthur even understood what the doctor meant in using the word “introspection”. Keep a diary? (The doctor actually suggested that). I had to suppress a snort of cynicism.

Well, to quote a common Arthurism: it will be what it will be.

This tree was there as I began work on my new storage shed – let’s call it “studio 2.0”, since the original “studio” was crushed by a giant snowball last winter.

We took my other uncle, Alan, to the airport for his return to his home in Colorado, this morning. The skies had cleared remarkably.

Caveat: Tree #1301

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree saw the moon through heavy fog at 4:45 AM. It was quite dark, so I got a low-quality photo, but with today’s cameras, it still works out fine.

This tree is a guest tree from my past. I took this picture of a sunset looking west on Teheran-no, a major thoroughfare in the trendy Gangnam district in Seoul, in December, 2008.
