Climbing a tree everyday

Scott, Julia & I finished our walk through China Town and I packed up my things and headed to Penn Station. A few weeks prior I purchased a one-way train ticket from New York to Portland, OR. The first leg, the Lake Shore Limited, rolls across NY state, touches Pennsylvania and goes along the northern [...]

To bring you back up to date: I left at the end of February 2010 and flew to NYC to stay with my brother Scott. During the month up North I visited Boston and Amherst, MA. For this blog entry I’ll be sharing my last few days in New York before the long train ride [...]

For most of March I walked. All over Manhattan and Boston. Mostly alone, sometimes with friends, but always surrounded by people. I was on an eternal search for a tree to escape in, away from they countless eyes. Having a friend gives me a slight boost in confidence, feeling as though they could explain the [...]

I got off my Southwest flight in the La Guardia airport and headed to baggage claim to get my pack. I had shoved my sandals in the front pocket that doesn’t have a zipper and found I only had one left. Luckily a man came from behind the carousel holding my other sandal. I ran [...]

I moved out of my little house on N Jane St. at the end of January expecting to leave soon for a rambling adventure of travel and tree climbing. But circumstances delayed the trip and I didn’t leave till the 27th. The month was cold and many tree climbs happened quickly and without photography. The [...]

I am back and now playing catch-up. After day 1000 on Dec. 29th I debated whether to stop this daily climb routine. Then 2009 became 2010 and I debated again. I have realized no matter how much I debate I cannot stop. What I have stopped doing is keeping track of what tree, where, and [...]

I am still alive. And, yes, I am still climbing trees… but things have changed a little. I’ll get to that shortly. But first I must finish posting my climbs from the end of 2009. Below you will find some more entries with family around the holidays and me playing and experimenting a little with [...]

Happy Holidays! Lately I have been very good about having my camera on me for my tree climbs… but fail to take pictures of other events and people. I need to remember to do that more. I guess that’s one reason I try to get people to climb with me… then I’ll at least have [...]

This week’s entry contains images of a natural phenomenon so spectacular and unbelievable! I can’t wait for you to see them and tell me what you think. It was a truly incredible sight and I feel so lucky to have witnessed it before the weather warmed and made it all disappear. Enjoy!
