This tree, somewhat blurry because it was rather distant, is leaning out just east of Tranquil Point, trying to catch some rays and block the view.

Caveat: Tree #564
This tree is a guest tree from the past. It’s a Dawn Redwood (metasequoia), along my walk-to-work route in Ilsan, Korea, taken in November, 2017. The trees look and feel like the redwoods I grew up with in far northern California (sequoia sempervirens), but unlike those, these Asian redwoods turn color and lose their leaves (needles) in the Fall. Also, they don’t grow quite so tall. I’ve been “homesick” for Korea a lot, lately.

I attached a sail to my treehouse. Which, you will notice, is attached to a tree. So I can use this picture for my daily tree, though admittedly this same tree has featured before – but with less attached to it.

The tree, at right, presents the blue-orangey dawn, 5 am.

This tree posed for me in front of some other trees… and the sea.

I was starting to get used to my new phone but I’m having a problem with it. It works great as a portable internet device and camera, but the “actual phone” (making or receiving voice calls on my AT&T plan) has some kind of problem that is proving difficult to solve.
I saw this tree from my treehouse.

It rained a lot today. This summer, unlike last summer, the “rainforest” moniker is living up to its name.
This tree is down by the sea, which is full.

The daily art goes on break, but the damp trees return: this rain-soaked young alder is brought to you by my my new camera-cum-phone-cum-internet-device.
Caveat: Tree #… nevermind
Since my phone broke (which was serving as my camera) I shall not be taking pictures of trees. I have some trees in my archive of photos taken in past years, but I think instead I’ll send this feature on a little hiatus.

Caveat: Tree #554
This is the very last picture taken with my phone before it broke. This small alder, about 4 inches tall, appeared in the new driveway – it’s not one of the ones I planted there.
I’m not sure what’s going to happen to this daily tree series, since my phone was also my camera. Perhaps a hiatus is called for?

Once again a blueberry bush is featured as a tree. I think the boundary is fuzzy. Blueberries around here are often treeish. This one isn’t very healthy, but is quite treeish.

This tree tolerates assaults upon its integrity, as a tree house is bootstrapped into place in very tiny steps.

There is a tree above; there is a small yellow flower in the lower left.

I took this picture of a tree in November, 2008. I believe it’s in front of the district prosecutor’s office a few blocks east of my apartment building in Ilsan, Korea. Sorry for the small size.
