[MC74 and Friends] Trees and MORE Trees


Youpiiiiiii !! looks like I am going to open shop for this week's theme of ... TREES !

So let me start with some local celebrities:

1. the famous LONE CYPRESS (for non-locals, this cypress is very lonely and would love
for you to come and pay it a visit, it's sitting at the border of the Ocean Pacific off
of the 17-mile drive in Carmel Northern Cal )

2. the ancient and equally famous (for golfers :-)) 14th hole cypresses
at the Cypress Point Golf Course at Pebble Beach also off the 17-mile drive.

3. believe it or not it's a MAGNOLIA TREE that some dude decided to shave into in 
giant blunt pointy thing :-) and it's almost as famous  :-) because it's growing 
at the front of the Filoli mansion whose exterior is used for the setting for the
Carrington Mansion on the TV series Dynasty. ( So folks if you think it's in Colorado,
you've been fooled, it's right here in Woodside, Northern Cal._ :-))

OK enough of celebrities, now to trees that I like :-)

4. the oak tree that I walk by every other day and didn't notice until I brought
the camera with me one day in the winter time, when it's naked :-)

5.  Palm trees (I love palm trees especially when they are conversing with clouds hi hi)

6.  and last but not least, this tree or more like SPOOKY tree trunk at a friend's house in 
Mendocino that looks like it's carved ... and the carving looks to me like a guy with his
head bent to the left ... I was really spooked and wouldn't stay in the house by myself ...
(Em Ci babi, that's the only time I was afraid of being home alone :o)) 

Let me know if you want more trees ... I better stop or my Twin will kick me out
of the blog :-)

Cheers,
BT
