Two of my neighbors, Mary and Sonsee, go walking early most mornings. I try to join them but sometimes they go too early for me. I’m trying to get in a lot of walking so I’ll be prepared for my trips to New York and Japan. Today I went with Phyllis, who often joins us. It was a beautiful morning, very cool and sunny. Walking the trails in Frick Park, a roundtrip of about three miles, we had a surprise this morning: a large tree had fallen across one trail. This is Phyllis climbing over the tree.
We’ve had some nasty weather over the last few nights; that’s when it must have happened. It looks like the rain softened the ground and the tree was pulled up by its roots. This tree looks like it’s about to fall over.
We walked under it quickly, and I took the picture from the other side.
