Eucalyptus

I found some more images. I hoard them, I guess, but don't keep them in particularly good order.

This is the corner of the middle school. Where I sat when I painted it is now a big construction site, but the trees and the school are the same.

I know that, environmentally speaking, eucalyptus trees aren't altogether our friends. I know they are thirsty, and they aren't natives and sometimes they steal water from trees that are native. But eucalyptus trees are a lovely part of the past and present California landscape. These particular trees have been around lots longer than me, I think. Come to think of it, my kind isn't native either, and we're water hogs too.
