This gorgeous tree is in the front yard of a home on a leafy, tree-lined street. The first time I visited the home, I was in such a rush that I didn’t even notice this pillar of strength planted in the middle of the yard. The next time around, I couldn’t stop admiring it. I’m sure the residents of the home were on the verge of calling the police on me.
But look at it! From the sturdy trunk to the elegant roots to the almost symmetrical patterns and grooves in the bark, it’s perfect. I know I often go ga-ga over trees, but come on – aren’t they worth it?

Awesome trunk. I’d be staring at it too
Then we’d be trespassing on their lawn together. I’ll bring the wine!
That is a really cool tree! I love how you just get in there and take pictures and stare. I think you’d have a completely reasonable explanation had they called the police on you.
These people are very nice yard and tree owners – but sometimes I wonder if the person behind the closed door is dialing 911.
