There are too many trees to just drive around and look at them to see if they need care. Just like roads, sewers, and any other municipal system, tracking the trees' health and maintenance is vital. Such a system allows for more efficient--and thus more reliable--care of an important amenity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-8190947778031816962008-08-21T23:56:00.000+02:002008-08-21T23:56:00.000+02:00Virginia "Do you know how they are trimmed?

Tenin and his camera - I checked for someone on the ground, since he goes to great lengths to get fantastic camera angles. <BR/>Paris is lovely, as it always is, and I spent a good deal of time as a flaneuse (sp?), strolling through quiet streets and taking photos of anything that interested me. (Walking in Eric's footsteps?)<BR/>I visited Paris Plage, saw children playing in the sand and grown-ups lounging on beach chairs reading or sunning themselves. I walked and trained to many other Paris neighborhoods, as well. Paris never disappoints. <BR/>My memories of Paris this summer will keep me warm in the cold New England winter to come and Paris Daily Photo will warm my heart, a part of which is always in Paris.MacRainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812424563635356169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-31492042756817008112008-08-21T10:27:00.000+02:002008-08-21T10:27:00.000+02:00oops!! meant type, not type name!oops!! meant type, not type name!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-51862861894494702402008-08-21T10:26:00.000+02:002008-08-21T10:26:00.000+02:00Eric, does this interest in trees mean you may be ...Eric, does this interest in trees mean you may be BRANCHING out in another direction?..... he he.
