Trees history heritage preserve

This morning at tree-sitting central the two protesters who were "allowed" up against this gate at the oak woodlands in northern Arcadia were directly into the sun from my lens, so I shot this guy off to the side.

By the time I got there, there were way more media types and sheriff's deputies than protesters against the absurd plow-down of century-old oaks and sycamores to make room for a dirt pile. But there were a lot of real people, too -- residents from the Highlands who didn't want to see the trees taken down, either. We ran into several old friends, including one from our daughter's class at Pacific Oaks pre-school, and Leslie was one of the neighbors carrying signs.

Did not see Daryl Hannah, and the deputies wouldn't let us in to see the tree-sitters who snuck in last night to try to stop the chop.
