A WALK IN THE PARK
In the past couple of days I have become aware that the trees in Balboa Park provide much more than pleasant atmosphere… much more than shade and shadows. I read and posted on this BLOG a couple of days ago the message on a small sign inside the Morton Bay Fig Tree enclosure. "Every plant gives a yearly gift of monetary value to the visitors to the park, and to the entire area."
I’ve always liked trees, but I am now even more grateful to them… and I feel more protective of them. Many of the trees in the park have been defaced by people. So-and-so loves So-and-so... and I want to believe the people carving their initials in a tree to declare their love don’t understand the damage they are doing…
This afternoon I attended a burial service for my Neighbor Dave Leadingham. The memorial service was set in a green, very arboreal place… Exactly right for this blog writing.
