My street has always been tree-challenged, and it makes the view less beautiful, although it gets a little better every year as the neighbors plant more. I like to think I'm helping establish the trend. <br />Hello to that adorable kitty!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-21569624396667981922010-03-03T19:28:39.452-08:002010-03-03T19:28:39.452-08:00Hi Jane~~ I hope you'll give Elvis a smooch fo...Hi Jane~~ I hope you'll give Elvis a smooch for me. He's awfully handsome. I have a male black and white too [tuxedo]. <br /><br />So is Sequoia semp. the "Giant Sequoia"? If so, I agree with your assessment. There are two of them planted together at a newly built strip mall in town. The developer left the trees [He was probably forced to. Our city council is very strict about tree removal, thank God.] and when I drive by I'm always in awe of the sheer magnitude of these trees. <br /><br />Raywood Ash is one of my absolute favorite trees. If ever I need to plant a garden tree, it will be Raywood. There are many planted streetside here too. <br /><br />I have to laugh. What is it about people planting Blue Spruce trees right up against the house? My neighbor across the street, same thing. It's a nice tree but as the adage goes, "right plant, right place" and I don't think the people who planted these have heard it. <br /><br />Kudos to neighbor Julie. Lately I've been obsessing over rock walls [taking photos]. Hers is very appealing. I can see why you [and Elvis] enjoy your borrowed views.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-18999483024144999412010-03-02T17:24:26.394-08:002010-03-02T17:24:26.394-08:00You have much nicer borrowed views than we do here...You have much nicer borrowed views than we do here. But our houses are so close together. No immediate neighbors have great front gardens -- they spend their time, talent & treasure on thier back yards.

I'll stick with the close-ups. <br /><br />Elvis has that alert "thought I saw a squirrel" pose going on!<br /><br />Is your darker pink camellia the type that has the white markings on the leaves?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-60759261211569129522010-03-02T14:03:46.646-08:002010-03-02T14:03:46.646-08:00the redwood looks a bit more like a Sequoiadendron...the redwood looks a bit more like a Sequoiadendron giganteum from the picture.<br /><br />either tree are great trees for OTHER people's property. terrible on your own.georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-33680900033625266332010-03-02T01:54:39.050-08:002010-03-02T01:54:39.050-08:00Elvis seems to be king of all he surveys!

The camellias look beautiful!Cyndyhttp://gardeningasylum.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
