To be more accurate, you could call it accidental art. I don’t know what the X means – perhaps some kind of infestation or dead limbs. The tree is near the Quaker Cemetery.

A tree grows slowly on Third Street

This tree is the runt on the block at the moment, but trying to catch up to the other trees. You can tell that the Gowanus Canal is nearby because there are not many plants growing on Third Street.
Found objects: air freshener & helicopters

Seen in the street. Is it a coincidence that fresh (real) strawberries are in season at the stores? Of course not! The maple seeds are included for a natural touch.
Pine tree

This pine is next to Prospect Park’s horse ring, or what’s left of it. The fences are gone, but a dusty oval remains. Riders from the Caton stables still come here.
Elephant-foot tree

Plant four of these trees at the corners of a rectangle. Come back in twenty years, then place a foot locker at the head of the rectangle. About one time in ten, it is said, and always in the dark of night, the trees come alive, turn into an animal and run away, never to be see again.
Same scene, no snow

I still don’t know where I am, but the appearance of this silly assortment of bushes cheers me.
Behold the tree

It’s the elements versus the tree, with a big dose of contamination and filth thrown in. The tree’s growth may be stunted, but it survives.
Tree in snow, Prospect Park

It’s hard not to have mixed feelings about the snow when you go to Prospect Park and everything looks like a photo op.
Little tree on Ninth Street

No, not the stinky kind, but a real, spindly one with a trunk that’s about the same size as the red No Parking sign nearby.
The wrapped-up tree

The homeowners’ Christo-esque gift to the neighborhood: a wrapped and string-tied object that suggests a tree. I’ll revisit the site in spring, see if anything is growing.
