Monthly Progress #84
Here is the Ficus religiosa, exactly 7 years from the date of its planting on April 17th, 2011. It's incredible how time flows through one's life. 100 years is nothing at all... This area is finally liberated from the weeds that aggressively took over since hurricane Irma. This ficus tree is really taking its time to grow big. It looks like the growth wants to concentrate on the bottom. Trees can do that, taking time to grow, especially this species. It can outlive many of us, mere humans. My goal is to see this tree 10 years from now... Let's plan on that.

There is a gigantic tree not far from Anacortes, in the middle of the tulip fields. Its trunk is about as big aound as a sequoia, although it not nearly as tall as one (since it is deciduous). Little kids pose beneath it in spring, just as their parents probably did, and their parents' parents did. I hope you have little ones posing under the ficus in ten years.
