Roof Garden

This tree started growing a few years ago. It probably started as a seed dropped by a bird. I wonder what the roots are doing to the roof.

After the Storm Revisited - The New Tree

It took a few weeks, but a new tree has replaced the tree that had been uprooted in the recent storm.  The new tree is a bit over 10 feet tall but looks like it could have been one very small branch from the previous tree.  Of course, the old tree was planted over 25 years ago.  It will be a while before the new tree provides any shade.

In addition to replacing the tree, the landscapers installed a new brick edge around the rock beds.

After the Storm

This is what the tree looked like the day after the storm.  Later that evening a tree service removed it.  Here is a link to a few more photos. http://www.georgesphotos.net/Weather/2011-June-Storm-Damage/17698493_F2R9Kk

Sand in the City 2011

Friday was "build day" for the teams competing in the annual Sand in the City competition. This annual event is a fund raiser for the Nebraska Children's Home Society.  The finished sand sculptures are on display this weekend (June 4 and 5) at the corner of 10th and Capitol.

I'll post photos later, but until then you can look at these photos from last year. Sand in the City 2010
