Category: A Daily Tree

The hundredth tree is still only a tree.

A smol tree on a big log.

An alder tree with it’s weird flower / seed pod thingies hanging off its still-bare branches.

I failed to take a picture of a tree today. I didn’t take my daily walk. It was raining hard, and I was feeling tired and disgruntled.
So I will offer this tree from my pre-daily-tree archives.
This is the very rare Korean cat tree, with a ripe cat ready for harvesting, taken in Jeollanam Province during a work-related field trip in February, 2011.

For a less tongue-in-cheek explanation, you can visit my blog for that time, here.

A tree which is special because it stands somewhat alone, having survived the “treepocalypse” which Richard wrought on the new driveway last fall.

Back home in Alaska, I found a tree. This one is an alder about to bud leaves for spring.

Here is a tree unclear on the concept of “up.”

We are officially back in Alaska, after a 42 hour long day (because of the international date line and all that).
We landed in Juneau a few hours ago. I don’t have a tree picture – it’s dark here.
So here’s a picture of an Australian tree – one seen during my long walk in Cairns yesterday (the day before yesterday? – depends on the dateline thing).

Another Australian tree: from the neighbor’s yard up the hill. She is actually a pretty horrible person, per descriptions of my mom and others who’ve dealt with her, but I nevertheless like her tree in her yard.

Presumably, we are flying.

An old, gnarled tree up along Wooroora Road.

A tree: some weird pine-ish beast whose name, like most trees, I utterly fail to remember despite being told multiple times.

This tree is wearing a mask (really – look at its trunk closely).

Nevertheless, I was able to see that it was there. Its disguise obviously failed.

This is a tree by a pond made by a dam at my mom’s friends’ “block” down near Kuranda.

[daily log: walking, 1.5km]

Another tree. Go figure.

[Elucidative UPDATE by Ann: That is a lemon scented gum (eucalyptus): Corymbia citriodora They, particularly the leaves, smell strongly of lemon and have smooth pinkish trunks. They slowly turn grey through the year and shed thin “dead” bark in the spring to return to the pink colour.]

A tree in someone’s yard up the road.

I saw this archetypal tree as I went on a walk up the road.

Up the hill at the entrance to my mom’s driveway, there is an orchard of olive trees. She says they’ve never borne fruit and have never been harvested. I’m not sure how this works – did they plant the trees and forget about them? Are olive trees really slow to get around to being fruit-bearing?

A tree down by the river. Perhaps a platypus nibbles (or nests) at its submerged roots?

Another tree, from the archive – this time, out the window of the attic at Arthur’s house.

[daily log: flying, some more]

A tree, from the archive.

This tree seems to have had its ambitions and dreams cut short.

[daily log: walking, 3.5km]

Here is a strange looking tree.

[daily log: walking, 3km]

The merest reflection of a tree.

But a damn nice pothole, eh?
[daily log: walking, 4km]

Here is a tree.

[daily log: walking, 3.5km]

Yet another tree appeared before my eyes.

[daily log: walking, 1km]

Wow, I found another tree.

[daily log: walking, 4km]

A tree growing.
