Climbing a tree everyday

DAY 16809.19.07TREE 85
This morning I returned to Joe Creason Park to climb the red cedar tree in the playground. I felt like I had a lot to live up to in this reclimb, specifically for pictures since so many turned out so nice the first time. Especially the one with my foot in [...]

DAY 16709.18.07TREE 84
For some reason this tree I reclimbed today had a place in my mind as a formidable beast. A creature of great power to fear and respect. I must have been thoroughly shaken by my first climb because as I walked down the Mount St. Francis driveway I stretched my arms [...]

DAY 16609.17.07TREE 83
It’s warming up again. I walked down the drive to the lake wearing a long sleeve shirt and a hoodie. I debated taking them off but just walked through the woods to the base of the sycamore and started to climb. I grabbed a hold of the vine so I [...]

DAY 16509.16.07TREE 82
After a really nice night and morning camping with Will, Norman, and Norman’s friends in Indiana at this great site by a cliff and natural amphitheater, I headed into Louisville for an art opening at the water tower about ’50’s-’70’s car drawings.

After that I drove over to Joe Creason Park. [...]

DAY 16409.15.07TREE 80 & 81
I woke up to a cool morning. The summer heat has suddenly left and my body isn’t prepared for it. I walked down the stone path by the white water tower chilled even with a long sleeve shirt. I walked fast to warm up and to get to [...]

DAY 16309.14.07TREE 77, 78 & 79
A frustrating day. I stayed up till 5am the night before hanging out with friends in Louisville. I got up this morning at 10:30 just feeling exhausted. I got nothing done and wasted time and it just makes me feel worse. After learning how to do [...]

DAY 16209.13.07TREE 76
I headed into Louisville to Cherokee Park to reclimb my tree. Last time I met up with Will and we played frisbee and monkeyed under a bridge. Today I was by myself and as I drove to the park I tried to think of who I could call to come join [...]

DAY 16109.12.07TREE 74
What an incredibly beautiful day. Not a cloud in that blue of blue skies with a warm temperature and a cool breeze. Norman and I headed to Hobb Knobb Coffee so he could get a drink and so I could read my feature article in the Indiana Weekly of the Courier-Journal. [...]

DAY 16009.11.07TREE 75
OOPS! I looked up which tree I was supposed to climb on my computer by just looking at the picture and not reading the journal entry. I saw a big beech tree and I thought, "oh yeah, that one by Hogan’s Fountain in Cherokee Park." So I grabbed my camera [...]

DAY 15909.10.07TREE 73
With all the going ons of my show I didn’t take the time to look ahead and see where I was going to be climbing today. When I did finally look it was the tree at Norman’s with the duck box. I told Norman and it was just too short of [...]
