Tree Outside My Window Month Six
Oops. I missed posting the month of May for the tree outside my window series. Here it is June already. We passed the summer equinox and the daylight hours are getting shorter again.

A couple months ago, the city removed one of the trees because it was leaning even further than the ones that remain.
