Tree houses
.
I've been thinking about tree houses. When we were kids, our neighbours, the Naveas, had a little tree house. More like a deck with no walls. Nothing fancy. My brother and his friends would always be up on it. They'd play war games. I was too scared to climb. It was only accessible by rope. But I had always been so fascinated with tree houses.
The tree house at my old elementary school. I hope it's still there.
I've seen some pretty unforgettable tree houses. There was a really interesting one in Zamboanga. It's become a tourist destination. I just don't know what it's like there now. There are a lot of tree houses around Toronto too. But I took them for granted. Now, I'm not surrounded by trees. And it's very rare for me to see a tree house. Here are a couple I've seen recently:
My friend's tree house in Pampanga. One of the loveliest I've ever seen. I love that hanging bridge.
Like a cute little cottage.
Tree house in one of Alex Medalla's (architect) residential projects in Cebu. He built this over ten years ago, maybe even 20. The wood has shifted. But it's still good.
We have no big trees in our property. The only future-potential tree we had fell after a storm a few years ago. Now we just want to plant bamboo, ylang-ylang and some fruit trees.
Our poor tree.
I wish my kids could play in a tree house. One of my neighbours said there's one in our subdivision. It's his homework to invite us to meet the owner so we could play.
People who have tree houses are incredibly lucky.
