Sit with me under the big Chinese elms at our house-before-last. They made such good shade and produced much oxygen. They were also the host plant for many batches of Mourning cloak caterpillars. You can hear the parrots, off in the

I used to pass this tree every day on my way to walk Noah. The irrigation was turned off, so I would collect the condensation from our window air conditioner and take it there once a week. In the winter, I brought captured rainwater. I do hope it is still alive.

One of my favorite trees lives in the middle of an eight lane interstate, in eastern san diego county. East county used to be farmland, from about the late 1850s through about 1950. Not saying this tree is that old, but I do love it, because #TreesMatter.

Two years ago, I took one last trip to visit the group of Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta) that live on Sports Arena Boulevard in San Diego. They are incredibly beautiful. There's rumours that they will be sacrificed for new development.

They chopped down these beautiful mature trees, and about 25 more, when they tore down the old police station and built an InAndOut burger place. I spoke with the mayor and developer. Neither would be of any help in saving the trees by designing around them. It was heartbreaking. #TreesMatter

Some of the big Silk oaks (Grevillea robusta- not a true oak) at Lindo Lake Park. They can reach heights of 50 feet. When they are blooming,and you are on a high spot in San diego County, they are big blobs of orange yellow. Non-native, but drought tolerant and, just so big! #TreesMatter
