185/365 Street Tree

This is the trunk of my favorite street tree, a black oak that technically sits just over my western property line on Big Ed's lot. It spreads out beautifully above, not a typical oak shape as I think of them. Acorns are big, stain the sidewalk.

Trees, for the most part, aren't suited for tree lawn life. This one hasn't compromised its principles. It folds over the curb, roots making pockets that are deep enough to fish in--if you want to catch mosquito larvae. I'm going to probably fill them with dirt and plant some innocuous. But who am I kidding? This tree is Fairy House Central. I'm not wasting my time for it to be dug up and presented as offerings to our tiny invisible neighbors.
