Tales of Seven

Plant a Tree

When I first moved into my house in the Sunset, the vast stretch of concrete without a sign of plant life or trees was very disturbing.

In an effort to change just a small piece of this, I worked with an after school program to plant six beautiful trees outside their school yard. With their help planting and watering, the trees are now in their 3rd year and a beautiful 15 feet tall! Every little bit counts!

Many thanks go to Friends of the Urban Forest; the organization that provided full guidance in selection and purchase of the trees, permit processes and planting techniques. They run a fantastic program working to bring the forest back to San Francisco and are well worth supporting!

Golden Gate Bridge

The most typical view of the bridge in the morning. I took this picture today around 7am. The bridge is typically a bright red from the morning sun and our summer fog rolls over the deck to create that 'floating' effect.
