Category: A Daily Tree

This out-of-focus tree saw a landslide.

This is a numerologist’s nightmare: tree #666 on Friday the 13th! You might imagine this tree as a protagonist in a very slow-moving horror movie.

This tree experienced a lot of snow. I took this picture in rural Yeonggwang County, Jeollanam Province, South Korea, while living there in December, 2010. Sometimes I miss Korea quite yearningly, deep in my soul.

This tree witnessed my efforts to divert some of the water that was flowing along the uphill side of the road across the road, using small dikes of gravel.

That was to prevent the “main” culvert from overflowing at the head of our driveway, because once that happens, our driveway begins to erode quickly. We have received 4 inches of rain in 36 hours. It’s still raining. The road to town is closed again, as of last night.
Here is the main culvert, not-quite-full.

This tree is also across the river from the clinic in Klawock. “The Clinic in Klawock” sounds like the title of an Seussian epic poem.

This tree has a freshly be-snowed Harris Peak in the background.

We had our first frosty nights, the last two nights. I figured the growing season is therefore done, and I started ripping out the moldy vegetation. I found some vegetables – small potatoes, micro onions, bite-sized carrots, anemic leeks. I am thinking of trying to make an “Alaskan garden stew” with them.
