The trees know. The trees always know. It doesn’t matter how steep the slope, trees always know which way is up.
A new one for my Town Trees series, this one captures the hills of San Francisco along with the tree. There are lots of great trees lining the streets in San Francisco, but it’s hard to capture one without cars! I actually tried to eliminate the cars in this image, but realized that the cars add to it. It’s San Francisco through and through: the cars parked on a steep street along with the cable car lines. All I needed was a bay window in the building, but you can’t have everything, can you?
The March Photo-Heart Connection is still open and going strong! There are so many wonderful connections this month. It’s interesting to see the topics evolve as the year progresses. Earlier months had a very introspective feel, and as spring has blossomed there is a lightness and joy that is coming through in the heart connections. We are all connected to the cycle of life around us.
You can link in through tomorrow. I hope you will join us!

Kat – what a great addition to your series. I too, would have wanted to eliminate the cars from the shot – but this is a good lesson for me that sometimes what I initially see as “distractions” are part of what tells the full story of a place.
