In the fall – well all year long really – I refer to the trees along 44th between Burke and Wallingford as the “Flame Trees” and I have snapped them many times over the last four autumns.  The same is so for the Good Shepherd P-Patch.  The detail with the sophisticated rock path leading to two chairs and a table set with a rock may be captioned “Go Zen, Come Meditate.” The Flame Trees were photographed Monday Oct, 19, this year and the rock the afternoon before.  I don’t know the runner, but he was kind enough to dodge around me.

On reflection, he sent a second note suggesting that the pair of photos might best be titled “Go Run or Go Zen”. Consider them so titled.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    Great photos! I used to see this guy all the time when I was out walking our huskies – had no idea who he was or what he was doing but it always made me smile.
