Caveat: Tree #732

A Daily Tree / Banalities & Journaling / Life in Alaska / My Garden / My Photos

This tree was witness to the fact that my “studio” (a plastic storage tent structure) had been subjected to high winds and therefore dislodged from its moorings.

I spent some time putting rocks and logs on parts of the “feet” to hold it in place temporarily, but will need to reengineer the base of it. Meanwhile, I got distracted sorting the dirt in my greenhouse, because I want to temporarily store some of the things from the studio up in the green house.

Caveat: Tree #725

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree stood guard over the newly re-wrapped RV. It was a lot of work getting that wet tarp back over it.

Caveat: Tree #724

A Daily Tree / Life in Alaska / My Photos

This tree happened to notice that the strong winds of the last few days had disrobed my RV. I put down some rocks to weight it down, and will try re-wrap the machine once this rainstorm dies down (in Spring?).

Caveat: Tree #721

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree is a “guest tree” from that past. I took this picture at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Portland, in June, 2018. That’s downtown Portland and the Williamette River in the background.

Caveat: Tree #712

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree is the same as a few days ago. I have decided to see if it will survive if I plant it – it’s presumably a live tree, but I think it spent too long on a shelf in a store before it showed up at our house when our neighbors-down-the-road gifted to us on Christmas Eve. I’ve temporarily planted it in a planter in my greenhouse. It won’t be much warmer than outside – the greenhouse receives no direct sunlight this time of year – but it will at least be more sheltered. The white stuff is just cotton, apparently. It’s inert and should wash off over time.

Caveat: Tree #709

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree is wearing a discarded mask. Note that I did not place this mask here – I simply found it attached to this tree – a true sign of 2020 if ever there was one.

Caveat: Tree #708

A Daily Tree / Banalities & Journaling / My Photos

This tree was given to us by our neighbors-down-the-road last night, along with some cookies. Juli mailed us some stockings which we opened in the morning. That was the sum total of Christmas, here at Rockpit.

For dinner we cooked some salmon on the traeger (smoker grill), had baked potato and spinach.

Caveat: Tree #702

A Daily Tree / Life in Korea / My Photos

This tree was outside my classroom window almost exactly 10 years ago, in December, 2010, in Hongnong Village, Yeonggwang County, Jeollanam Province, South Korea.

I made a chocolate cake, to celebrate the impending winter solstice.
