A Giant Forest (or a Forest of Giants)

Several weeks ago I bemoaned the loss of an old Torrey Pine tree in our neighborhood. Yes, there are more of them, but as they reach 100 years they begin to suffer and a few must be taken down. 


Yesterday I was invited to visit a friend of my wife who lives in the midst of a forest of beautiful Torrey Pines (and beautiful homes) just above the Pacific Ocean. My spirit was renewed -- here are a few images -- I think you will agree if you love trees this is a fabulous place to live:

View out the front door


View out the kitchen window



View from the garden path (with a rose)



View to the east



View from the garden looking south



View from the garden looking east



Majestic (but sad) view having to leave this place...
