My Favorite Tree In San Jose

Is a Valley Oak.
It is right down the street from my friend Slow Feet's house and near where I lived for many years.
I have a fond memory of driving under this tree with my friend 3wiserpenny years ago and me saying to her, "Can you guess which tree is my favorite?" to which she replied, "No, knowing you, you could be in love with a twig!" It made me laugh.

Now it makes me more than a little bit sad every time I drive under this tree. I think, "when will be the last time I see it before I leave?" And I wonder too, will I have a favorite tree in Ithaca, and what will it look like?
