Thanks to Owen for passing along this picture from the canal trail in Walnut Creek.
As always, if you’re out and about during the upcoming storm, please use caution. The ground has already been saturated and some trees are very unstable. With the upcoming wind and rain, there’s a good change we’ll see more trees topple over.
Thanks again to Owen for the photo.

There’s a nearly dead cedar tree up the street that I wish would fall down.
.
Cedars have a tap root that is almost as tall and as big around as the tree itself. I have been watching one closely for years. I’m told it’s in no danger of falling and the aquifer running beneath it keeps that enormous tap root sufficiently watered even in drought years..

Bummer.

Can I summon a lightning strike?

Where on the canal trail was this photo taken?
Looks to me like it is down just past the intersection with Iron Horse? Direction of photo shot eastward toward the intersection where the townhomes/condos are?
I save my tree hate for the Eucalyptus. 😜
