Fenway and I have our "normal" routes when we walk. Usually head two blocks east and walk around a "triangle" park and then head home. Or we go two blocks west to another "triangle" park....or sometimes up Stowell Avenue two blocks and straight back. Once in awhile we head the five blocks to the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan.
One day Dave came back from his turn with Fen and told me to check out the tree just northeast of us. He said it was one of the biggest trees he'd seen in a long time. So yesterday we went north on Stowell for one block before turning west to the first corner. And there it was!
This beauty towers over the house and takes up the whole front yard. It must provide wonderful shade for the whole house on hot days! I didn't get close enough to check out what kind of tree it is, but the trunk must measure six+ feet around. Look how tiny the cars look parked just below it's branches!
It really is the Big Guy in our neighborhood!
