PHILLY TREES: May 2013

http://phillytrees.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Skylines and treelines.The Philadelphia UnderStory. Monday, May 27, 2013. I grew up in this house. This isn’t a particularly original thought but, boy, it sure looks a lot smaller than I remember. . It’s also missing some trees. There used to be larger roses and more evergreen shrubs guarding the walkway to the front door.  There used to be a dwarf pear tree and a rose of sharon on the driveway side of the house. On the other side of the house, there used to be a sour cherry tree. . Contrary to popular b...

PHILLY TREES: PHILLY FIRST BLOSSOM FRONT

http://phillytrees.blogspot.com/2014/04/philly-first-blossom-front_7.html

Skylines and treelines.The Philadelphia UnderStory. Monday, April 7, 2014. PHILLY FIRST BLOSSOM FRONT. Citybillies, it’s confession time. The rumors are true. I’ve sold out. Jon Spruce has officially signed on the dotted line. For two years now, I have meticulously and courageously hunted down and archived the kingdom of Philly trees but, behind the scenes, hidden from view, I’ve been bombarded and assaulted with endless requests for sponsorship. All asking for a piece of the pie. It means flower viewing.

PHILLY TREES: June 2013

http://phillytrees.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Skylines and treelines.The Philadelphia UnderStory. Monday, June 24, 2013. TREES ON THE ROAD. There I was, enjoying the daylights out of these long, long days of June, reading the local paper in the backyard of my urban cabin, when a headline caught my eye:. Wildman Throws Spear at Passing Vehicle in California. It’s been a while but here we have our first sighting of the Wildman for 2013, timed perfectly to the first super-moon of summer. Ain’t that just like Coyote? Surrounded by the New England mass m...

PHILLY TREES: August 2013

http://phillytrees.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Skylines and treelines.The Philadelphia UnderStory. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. BEECH READINGS, PART TWO. I got a bad feeling about this. I was climbing down the rocky slopes towards the Catfish Creek when I caught sight of this brown pod…. 8230;attached to a branch of that scrub chestnut oak. It just plucked off, right into my hand, a snap of the fingers. It had almost no weight to it.  I carried it in a loose fist towards the beach…. 8230;and laid it out on the big rock for a little alien autopsy. 8230;I...

PHILLY TREES: October 2013

http://phillytrees.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Skylines and treelines.The Philadelphia UnderStory. Tuesday, October 8, 2013. PHILLY FALL and THE FERNHILL FRUIT. Now, where was I? That’s right, it’s autumn here in Philadelphia. Now, how does that quote go again, the one about autumn? 160; Think, Jon Spruce.  Who was it again? That’s right, it was Albert Camus, the French philosopher.  Now, he was an absurdist but don’t worry, Donny, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Every now and then, even an absurdist is worth listening to. 160; He was right.

PHILLY TREES: July 2013

http://phillytrees.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Skylines and treelines.The Philadelphia UnderStory. Thursday, July 18, 2013. THE STRONG SUN MOON. It’s a jungle out there. The city is stewing.  The streets are roasting.  The roof is on fire. . Baby, it’s hot outside, during these final days of the Strong Sun Moon. Citybillies, take cover wherever you can. This is not my weather of choice, this is not my season.  After all, I am an Elk of the Thunderbird Clan, born under the Long Snow Moon of mid-Decembertime, but I refuse to stay inside. 8230;with show...

PHILLY TREES: May 2014

http://phillytrees.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Skylines and treelines.The Philadelphia UnderStory. Friday, May 16, 2014. HANGING UP THE HAT. Here in Philadelphia, there are trees and then there are trees. On this particular day, I was hunting for the first kind of tree. It goes by the name of mountain laurel. 160; It’ll never be the biggest tree in the woods.  It’ll never be the kind of tree that shows up on the nightly news but I’ve been on the lookout for mountain laurel for weeks now. That’s French for a violent rush of water. The big trees, they ...

PHILLY TREES: January 2014

http://phillytrees.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Skylines and treelines.The Philadelphia UnderStory. Tuesday, January 14, 2014. I woke up this morning and immediately checked my surroundings for any subtle, mysterious changes. Same old urban cabin. Same old Jon Spruce. Crawling out of the warm blankets, I shivered over to the kitchen window. Looked like the coast was clear and, although I wasn’t completely sure that the Code Blue had been lifted, it looked like it was safe to go outside again. For a vortex, this was a pretty weak one, by all accounts.
