A Sentinel Standing Guard

Every now and then, the imagination runs wild. For instance, while out walking the other morning, I saw this denuded eucalyptus (I think) tree in front a house along the way.

In my mind's eye, all I could think of was a sentinel standing guard and watching all of us who passed on by. Yes, that house is well protected. Hmmm!

Trees Along the Way. . .

On this morning's walk, I was fascinated by many of the trees along the way. I'm not sure why although it might have been the framing provided by the sky. All of the following pictures were taken on my cell phone along Via Castilla and upper Via Zumaya in Palos Verdes Estates.

Oh, a footnote. . .generated by the last photo. Lots of folks in this area hire tree trimmers to shape some of the trees and keep them looking fit and trim. And I did brighten a couple of the pictures to make them a bit more visually pleasing. Enjoy!
