Tree Trivia


One of my regular readers (Hi Darlene!) asked me several weeks ago about the poor denuded trees in front of our apartment (you can look back and see them in the May 31st post). I've periodically taken a photo to show how they grow out each summer. This is the way they appear today. Elyn thinks the severe cutting that these trees endure each year is cruel. But, as you can see, they bravely put forth a profuse growth that provides very concentrated shade for the sidewalk cafés below.

So there is your tree trivia for the day. Tomorrow it is off to Scotland, returning on July 20. We will have a computer with us and I'll try to post from time to time, but there may be significant gaps between posts for awhile. We will have wonderful photos to share when we return.
