"A Poem Lovely as a Tree"

San Juan Bautista is the next town over to where we live. And, in that darling mission town is where you will find these trees. What kind of trees are they? How old are they? That's what I want to find out.

These photos are my contributions to this week's Wordless Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday. Click on over to each site for more contributions on its theme. That is, after you check out mine. :-)

Do you see the face in the tree?


Can a gnarled tree be gnarly?


Anyone else see a figure hugging the tree?

  1. Could they be olive trees? They have similar foliage and get gnarled like that. Lovely trees. :)

  7. Those are incredible trees, the photos are amazing. I do see the face in the first picture.
    They remind me of an old woman's arthritic hands.

  10. Beautiful examples of Schinus Molle - California Pepper Tree - source of Pink Peppercorns - which is becoming increasingly popular as a spice - had Pink Peppercorn Ice Cream at a festival in Oakland last weekend

  11. Hi, all. I appreciate you all stopping by to check out the gnarly trees, which say Lori and Charlie (thank you!) are pepper trees. I want to plant one in our front yard now. It would be so cool to have our own "sculptures dressing the trunks," as Ed described them. I also like the idea of harvesting my own peppercorns.
