Buena Vista Park

San Francisco Solitary Trees

On consecutive walks in the city

I came upon separate solitary trees sharing their light and oxygen with me.

I found reflections of self in these lonesome trees

and knew no way to take them in my car or even across the street

So I shot them, not with cannon or laser but handy little phone

Edited them quickly and now they are never alone.

From the initial image I saw promise

some paint and Spackle dotted here and there

a few lens filters for texture

now I have them with me

my solitary trees posted here on the web of information for all to see

Share my days I wish so often could be

with each of you blissful readers

while you likely cannot come with me

you may take your own bit of joy from

my San Francisco Solitary Trees
