I walked along 24th street, along the railroad tracks and couldn’t help noticing chain link fence embedded into the thick trunks of the oak trees.

Fortunately, our old neighborhood, though under evacuation orders, escaped the blaze. But they were close enough to see the fire burning not far away and they were prepared to flee.

It was the one I had most wanted to photograph. I wonder if I did at some point in time. I'll have to check my files one of these days for it.

(My opinion, of course.) I was amazed to see that oak gone. I was used to driving around it, but it's possible someone collided with it and damaged it too much to save, or it could have had a disease and been about to come down. I suppose its roots might also have been intruding on BarbRadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15899642277679265680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-58890192960632697842018-11-07T19:57:04.151-06:002018-11-07T19:57:04.151-06:00There is nothing as majestic as an old tree that h...There is nothing as majestic as an old tree that has been taken care of over the years.

You have created a whole series in this theme, which is wonderful to see all together in one article. <br /><br />Are the oak trees in Paso Robles the same as the California Live Oaks (or Coast Live Oaks) you see along the California Pacific Coastline often growing leaning and/or bent over from the exposure to the coastal winds?

It is obvious that your city loves their oak trees and I suspect it is always a difficult decision to cut one down for any reason. It really is neat to see the SUV across from the oak tree at the corner of 5th and Vine.
