Just back from vacation, and my favorite tree is in all of her glory. If you look back on this blog, you will see the tree in the middle winter looking almost totally dead. Hard to believe this is the same tree. As summer goes into fall, I will keep taking pictures of the tree very few weeks until I have an entire year documented.

Wow, it is hard to believe that just a few months ago this tree looked truly dead. This past Memorial Day weekend it was looking just beautiful. It is just difficult to fathom such trouble in parts of the world when scenes like this are so peaceful.

Well, I just returned to Somerville from a week-long vacation out West. The tree is looking greener and fuller by the day, and soon you will not be able to see the branches beneath again. Pretty soon people walking along the bike-path from Davis Square will stop and gaze at this majestic tree.

Beautiful spring day

Yesterday was a beautiful spring day. With the days getting longer, I finally have time after work to walk by and get some nice shots of the beautiful tree. Of course, you can still see the trunk and branches underneath, but in just a short while she will be full again.

Spring is in the air

Well, it has been a long winter season, but the tree is starting to turn a light shade of yellow. This is a sign that it will soon fill in again. Cycles like this truly amaze me; this tree has stood here at this spot for all of these years despite unimaginable changes and events taking place in the world around it.

This was a glorious winter day, and I actually had the day off so I was able to catch the tree behind a clear blue sky. I love this angle without all of the wires that block your view most of the time you catch the tree. Is it starting to turn green again yet?

The sun was reflecting in a beautiful way off the tree, but my camera was temporarily not working so I missed the prime shot.
