Two blocks over from our house there is one of those large treed areas. We came tobogganing here once when Poppy was little, and a couple of times Poppy and I had picnics here. It’s odd that we didn’t come over here more often, although I still drive by it a few times every week because I prefer driving on the less busy back streets.

The area is triangular shaped and surrounded by houses. No park or benches, just lots of trees. Each corner has a cluster of 4 or 5 evergreens and all the trees are massive. I could not find an angle that showed how large the area was or how huge some of the trees were, so I just picked a nice view. I could almost spend a week just painting the trees here.
