On the sidewalk near my apartment, on the other side of the inlet to the parking lot and on the other side of the road verge, there’s this little tree.

I think it’s some sort of pine-like tree. It’s got the same type of green needles as do pine trees. I also think it throws cones, too. It hangs rather low over the sidewalk, so much so that I have to duck when I pass under it. I don’t really mind that though.

It sort of reminds me of the tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas before the gang all decorated it. It’s not quite as stripped-down or otherwise pathetic, nor does it keel over when weight is applied (at least, I think it wouldn’t), but it’s not a towering giant of a tree like even some of the other trees around here.
