Callery Pear (p 140)

Ugly picture, but I'm just trying to mimic the book. 13th and Weidler by the Safeway.

Japanese flowering cherry (p 135)

3612 NE Flanders

Carolina poplar (p 131)

3945 NE Couch. Next door, two of the same have not survived the last 21 years since the picture was taken. Admittedly, these are monsters, and if one came down, it could take out an entire house. Maybe the owners got jittery.

Tulip tree (p 96)

This is a famous tree in the Lloyd district. 15th and Weidler. About the time the book came out, Stephanie and I, living not too far away, stopped to marvel at it.

American Sweetgum (p 95)

This scene has changed very little. 2617 NE 16th.

Gingko (p 83)

GONE! NE 6th and Holladay. Construction of a new office building must have led them to chop this one down. Too bad, because the book says, "It was planted in the 1890s. We hope it has a long life." The building in the background is interesting to me, because that is where my dad got me my first non-lawnmowing job in about 1970. I "punched the tubes" on a huge old-school boiler, meaning I ran a long rod with brushes into about 100 long tubes to clean out soot.

Flowering dogwood (p 69)

The book and a nice plaque mention that this small tree was planted in 1882. In front of Nordstrom in the Lloyd Center.
