Photos of the Circus trees from prior years

Since I'm feeling slightly feverish and too rotten to go to work, I slept until 11am.. sort of. Broken sleep due to the wind blustering from the south which also blows the freeway noise toward our house. When someone started using an electric saw, I got up. I got up the first time when Eric did. I'm taking the old fashioned asthma med to deal with this virus and that means I need to eat something immediately before and after it or it makes my gut hurt. Plus I needed to call in sick to work.

While I was sitting on the bed looking out the window I noticed an enormous spider web stretching five or six feet between a weed holly tree next to our house and the persimmon tree in the middle of the lawn. It has to be extremely strong to have lasted through the blustery night. The only time I've seen webs like that was when I lived up in the foothills and huge nocturnal orb weavers would build them. That silk is strong enough to catch a small bird. There's no spider in sight with that web. I'll check it again tonight. Eric has never seen one of those spiders. He was quite impressed with the web.

I'm looking for pictures of the circus trees from when the hearts looked like hearts and I've found a few trees in photos that apparently didn't survive. I wish I could find more.
