Caveat: Tree #467
The four hundred and sixty-seventh tree is one among many.
In other news, rumor has it there are now not zero, but rather two cases of covid-19 here on our isolated island.

I have sometimes taken the time to make precarious piles of rocks here and there. So this tree is foregrounded by some piled rocks.

Caveat: Tree #463
Sometimes I miss Korea a lot.
Here is a guest tree (or gathering of trees, with some attendant bicycles). I took this picture in December, 2017. I know exactly where it is – it’s behind the Gangseon Elementary School. I’m looking toward the southeast, so that’s the morning sun on the brick wall of the school. I was probably walking to work.

Caveat: Tree #457
I was being impatient with my garden. Nothing has sprouted – but it’s been less than a week, so of course nothing has sprouted. But I wanted to see something growing in my greenhouse. So I uprooted two 3-inch tall saplings from outside and planted them in a corner of one of my planters. The tree on the left is a cedar, the one on the right is a western hemlock. These are extremely common trees around here, and grow like weeds in the gravel by the road. Now something green is growing in my greenhouse!

These trees (which one do you like?) are just outside the southwest entrance to the Jeongbalsan subway station in Ilsan (Goyang), South Korea. That was my “home” subway station for the majority of the time I lived in Korea, few blocks from the Urimbobo apartment building where both my first and last apartment in Korea was located (there were other apartments in between, however). I took this picture in November, 2007.
The banner on the footbridge, interestingly, is advertising a local performance of the Nutcracker Suite (호두까기 인형) at the Ilsan Cultural Center which is on the right behind the bridge.

Caveat: Tree #454
This is a little hemlock tree that was in the way of the path I was making up to my new greenhouse. So I moved the tree to a different spot. I thought if it grows there it can help anchor the corner of the steep, landfill hillside behind my new greenhouse.

I’ve been feeling kinda under-the-weather. I know it’s not that crazy covid thing – because I’ve had these lingering cold-like symptoms since before this thing came along. But it’s annoying. I haven’t been posting much on this here blog thingy, I know. Sorry.
This tree is down by the water on the neighbor’s property (where the house burned down).
