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.
