This tree leans into life.

It was so rainy today. Stormywindyrainy. I watched the rain fall sideways out the windows of the store in Craig, after a morning without electricity at home, having boiled water for instant coffee on the wood stove in the living room.

This tree is near some mountains and the sea in downtown Klawock, where I was the other day. Just out of frame is the Catholic church, to the right. I’m standing on the main highway on the little isthmus between the sea and Klawock River estuary.

This out-of-focus tree saw a landslide.

This is a numerologist’s nightmare: tree #666 on Friday the 13th! You might imagine this tree as a protagonist in a very slow-moving horror movie.

This tree experienced a lot of snow. I took this picture in rural Yeonggwang County, Jeollanam Province, South Korea, while living there in December, 2010. Sometimes I miss Korea quite yearningly, deep in my soul.

This tree witnessed my efforts to divert some of the water that was flowing along the uphill side of the road across the road, using small dikes of gravel.

That was to prevent the “main” culvert from overflowing at the head of our driveway, because once that happens, our driveway begins to erode quickly. We have received 4 inches of rain in 36 hours. It’s still raining. The road to town is closed again, as of last night.
Here is the main culvert, not-quite-full.

This tree (bottom center left) has two leaves left, at the very top. I saw it in Klawock the other day.
