Caveat: Tree #445

This tree is from the past. It is in the Yongsan area of Seoul. I took the picture in September, 2012.

Caveat: Tree #441

It’s a bit hard to see, but this tree is lying down over the swampy water below it.

Caveat: Tree #437

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).

Caveat: Tree #432

It rained so much today that I didn’t even try to walk somewhere. I didn’t take a picture of a tree. I decided to post one from my archive.
This tree is in northwest Seoul, Korea. I took the picture on July 1, 2017, while visiting the grounds of the Korean Shamanism Museum (샤머니즘박물관).

Caveat: Tree #431

With the sun shining on the trees by the water, you’d not realize from the picture that it was below freezing outside.

Caveat: Tree #426

A few days ago, before Andrew got here, it was snowing. I took this picture of a tree off the deck.

Caveat: Housier but not yet greener

The greenhouse has taken shape. There’s not much left to be done now on the structure. This picture is before we attached the door and roof-hatch (vent).

I have to start working on how and what I will plant in it. Andrew, Arthur and I went to Mike and Penny’s down the road for an early dinner, and Penny gave me a seed catalog and discussed some about her successes and failures with Southeast Alaska gardening.
I haven’t gardened much in my life, but I’m going to try this summer.

Caveat: Tree #424

This is another tree seen at Kasaan yesterday. It is small and suspended in a stream.

Caveat: Surprisingly Square

We finished the “foundation” for the greenhouse, this morning, despite chill, pouring rain and sleet. It’s really just a frame of cedar 4x4s laid at ground level on some concrete piers, but it should provide a level anchor for the greenhouse.
Once we’d got it in place, Andrew declared it “surprisingly square.” We then started to put up the pre-fab aluminum frame before giving up due to cold and wet.

Caveat: A beach day

My brother Andrew and I went to Kasaan. There is a totem pole park there – a kind of outdoor museum of native culture.
Kasaan is possibly my favorite place on the island. It being winter, the cafe and indoor visitor center was closed. But we walked among the totems, saw the old long house, and had a kind of impromptu picnic on the beach.
It was a nice day, though quite cold – I think about 36° F (2 C), and windy.
Here is Andrew on the rocky beach.

Caveat: greenhouse rising

My brother Andrew is visiting. I have a certain project I’ve decided to ask his assistance with – he has a much wider Alaska-appropriate skillset than I do, and is able to build things.
I bought a kit greenhouse a while back, because I want to have a greenhouse, here. The main building issue with setting it up is that it needs a kind of “foundation” to rest on – not a full structural foundation, but at least something to anchor it to the ground. That’s what Andrew and I are working on.

Caveat: Tree #420

My brother Andrew has come to visit for about a week. So I went to the ferry terminal to pick him up. Inside the ferry terminal, I saw this tree, made out of a… tree.

Caveat: Tree #419

This tree’s capture is incidental to a much more important pile of rocks.
