Favorite Tree

How can you not like someone - a liberal-arts grad and a world-class cross-country skier, at that - who posts a picture of her favorite tree, and invites others to post pictures of their favorite trees?

You can't, that's how.

Here's my favorite tree, which occupies the spot of space between Goodsell Observatory, Olin Hall, and Boliou Hall at Carleton College. It's a great tree.
  
Goodsell Oak

(THis is actually not my favorite tree, actually: my favorite is another oak, out in the savannah in the Lower Arb, but I don't have a picture of it, and I pass this tree every day.)

Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
