Me and My Trees and my New Landlord
The third time I met the new guy who never shook my hand or gave me a business card. I was sitting with my dog Luna as we often do along a sunlit grassy strip under my windows. My neighbor and her 2nd grade daughter had just finished talking about how ‘They” just made her get rid of a cute little spice garden they set up tucked under the stairs.” Obviously with a tree specialist, they were looking at all our trees. My neighbor then told me they are chopping them down. I looked at the man (claiming to be my landlord) and asked, “You’re taking down my tree?” He said, “Your tree?” I thought to myself: But I love my trees, I am a photographer and a press photographer, I have access. Look at my trees.
What a horrible statement I had made, I was being possessive after all I including that tree were his possessions, Of course I realized that immediately, faux pas? Here are a few more memorable trees.
-
- First image I ever took with an 8×10 camera. My daughter Rebecca and dog Blackie in front of Rubber Tree Beverly Dr. and Santa Monica Blvd.

- Loula Washington Dance Theater in front of the Morgan Fig Tree at 1 Wilshire Blvd, The Mirrimar Hotel in Santa Monica
-
- This is a Rubber Tree at Santa Monica Blvd and North Beverly Drive A landmark and here for at least 4 generations of Beverly Hills residents.
-
- Cactus Garden is part of the beautiful parkway running along Santa Monica Boulevard from Doheny in the East to Wilshire Boulevard on the West. The cactus’s are near Bedford Dr. and Santa Monica Boulevard
Any philanthropist who maintains such a beautiful bunch of trees as in Beverly Gardens Park could have jumped in any time to save “My Tree”
