This tree is on my block.
A volunteer showed up in my garden. I uprooted it and put it in a pot. It appears to be thriving so far, so now I have a bonsai horse chestnut.
Here is the parent tree:

The cliffs erode and trees fall. This tree is still alive, but not for long.

Chunks of clay and rocks are washed by the tides. Is the water rising?

I find beautiful rocks, as a consequence of the waters that seem to be rising.
Confidence and cliffs eroding.

I put out my recycling yesterday. All that paper that I fill paper bags with each month. Is paper disposable? It does come from trees.
Chainsaw and climbing gear. He doesn’t look like he’s that high up. But I am taking the picture from a rise, through a grove of smaller trees. Here is the tree that is coming down.

A storm had twisted the upper trunks until the lower trunk split vertically. Now it was dangerous and could fall on the house in another storm. And dangerous to take down because each of the four upper trunks had to be done separately.


One trunk left.

All down. The trunk is still alive and may live.

This oak in Maryland has stubborn leaves. After Christmas and refusing to fall and still attached. Most of the other trees that were going to lose their leaves already had, but not this oak.

Is this the Green Man? A wonderful stop gap carving, before this trunk falls. Taken in Maryland on a neighborhood walk.
