We have a pair of Red Tails here who have successfully raised young the past three years, but they have hidden their nest so cleverly I never have figured out where it is. <br /><br />Unfortunately those sad mutilations of trees are not limited to your neighborhood--they are here, too. :( Ignorance is a very sad thing. However I enjoyed the story of your walk. Thank you for sharing it.

Are the result as interesting as I've imagined they would be?Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-69579046619737038402017-03-05T11:49:22.188-08:002017-03-05T11:49:22.188-08:00Les, I love southern indicas, too, although I espe...Les, I love southern indicas, too, although I especially love them when they have never felt the touch of pruners! I do see some in their full glory, which I shared in a post I put up yesterday. Combine those gorgeous flowing shrubs in full bloom with live oaks draped in Spanish moss and, as you say, you have a sight to be very fond of.<br /><br />I wondered what could be done about that poor flag - I didn't realize that Boy Scouts took old flags like that and properly disposed of them. Perhaps I'll drop a hint or two....<br /><br />That poor pollarded tree! I think the house is being rehabbed. I hope they just take the tree down. I've never thought pollarding was a good idea....<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!

If I'm going to live in town, living in an older neighborhood where there is more individuality accepted is the way to go, in my opinion. Actually, I'd love to live in a Craftsman era home...but there aren't any down here and I'm not sure we're up to the maintenance involved any more either. Still, the older the neighborhood, the better, in most cases.<br /><br />Of course, where you live is gorgeous! I'd be drawn to your neighborhood as well.<br />Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-33404476189472051872017-03-02T17:57:11.394-08:002017-03-02T17:57:11.394-08:00Thanks for taking us along on your walk.

The photography club I'm with will occasionally do a "photo walk" where we all go to the same location and take photos then compare later to see what each of us picked out and the different ways we took photos of the same thing.Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-54011991705079373372017-03-01T18:05:04.522-08:002017-03-01T18:05:04.522-08:00Your Walk-Off had several things I am quite fond o...Your Walk-Off had several things I am quite fond of: Southern Indica azaleas in bloom, live oaks draped in moss, and lots of birds. However, the soccer plinth will look better right where it is, that poor flag needs to be given to the Boy Scouts for proper disposal, and perhaps the people with the pollarded tree should consult a Master Gardener.
