Well there is more than one tree here. But as Wayne said as we walked along the road earlier, “You got a lot of Christmas trees around.” It was completely deadpan. But it made me laugh. So pick a tree, that feels salient to you, and that’s your daily tree.

Caveat: Tree #199
Here is a tree attached to San Ignacio Island. I think that’s the west side of San Juan Bautista in the background, and farther back, the mountainous spine of Prince of Wales Island.

Caveat: Tree #197
A tree from the archives – the tree is next to a statue of 손병희 [Son Byeong Hui], a famous Korean independence activist. I took the picture in 2009, in downtown Seoul.

Another difficult day. Sometimes I feel as if Arthur spends half of his time cussing at his frustration with whatever current shortcoming he’s struggling with, and the other half of his time telling me in what way I’m screwing up. And so it goes.
A tree can be seen, reflected in the water at lowish tide, as we prepared to go out fishing in the boat. Arthur didn’t tell Wayne or me about his intentions – we noticed he had the motor running on the boat and was ready to go.

Today was a stressful day. It involved going out with two older men in a boat fishing, but neither of those men listen to me or each other. Everyone giving instruction, no one receiving instruction. Well – it was “too many cooks in the kitchen,” but involving navigating a boat in rain and fairly strong winds.
I saw this tree by the pond on a short walk, later.
Other pictures…

The specific tree I have in mind here is barely visible, just to the right of the center. It is a single tree on a small island, but with the dark trees of the other island behind it, it is hard to make out. But it’s there – a perfectly cone-shaped xmas tree silhouette.

While out fishing at the northwest tip of Noyes Island, a tree was seen.

We went to get our friend Wayne at the airport. Wayne visited last Fall. So he’s visiting again. He likes going fishing.
Meanwhile, here is a tree.

Pick a tree… or a goat (on the beach, you can just make them out, white goats).

An incidental tree.

Caveat: Tree #189
This tree is more sideways than your average tree. That’s because Richard knocked it down with his excavator.
I believe that Richard opposes trees as a matter of principle. In this way, he is a true Alaskan. But things happen, right? I had given him permission to knock the tree down – it was in the way of some work he’s doing leveling the spot where a future house might go on Lot 73.

I had a very busy day, working with Richard on the new septic system for Lot 73, moving sand around to get it level. I am sore and tired.
Here is a tree from the archives. Jeongbal Hill, near my apartment in Korea, with a magpie looking at a tree.

This tree has been here before – but not at 10 PM. The sun sets late this time of year, here.

This tree is at the top of Jeongbal Hill, a few blocks from my apartment in Ilsan, Goyang, South Korea. It’s on the way when walking “through the park” from the National Cancer Center and my apartment. I took this picture in July, 2013, a few days after my discharge from the hospital. I walked past it (among many trees in that park) many times during my treatment at the Cancer Center.

Here is a salmonberry.
Here is some grass.

First, I must show the obligatory tree.
Then, I might add a flower.
Lastly, because this is a dumptruck-themed blog (sometimes), here is a dumptruck (specifically, Richard’s, at side of road, mile 9.8).

I saw this tree, before Arthur and I went out in the boat seeking fish.

I was busy today, with working on the well-head shed.
Here is a tree from the archives: February, 2010, at 관악산 [Gwanak Mountain], on the southern city boundary of Seoul, where it borders the suburb Gwacheon.

The tree seems incidental to the mountain across the inlet: jumping in from the left side of the frame and photobombing the scene.
