If anyone has any photos related to the signs, please send them to me so I can post them. I will give you a byline if you request one.
A bird's-eye view of the Quad. My tree is the tall one in the north-west corner.
My tree is in the upper right corner.
Looking at the Quad from the east. My tree is middle right.
Another view with the cherry trees in bloom
Looking up the tree
Looking to the east from the tree
Looking south at Pierce Lane and across the Quad at Smith Hall
Looking west towards Red Square
The bench I sat on for a few minutes an hour
The plaque on the bench reads: "In honor of Helen M. and Walter A. Walker who loved the cherry trees..." ...apparently so much that they chopped one of them down for the wood to make the bench
The view from the bench
One of the enormous seagulls I fed pretzels to
A crow who ate the pretzels the seagulls missed
One of the busses I took each day to and from campus
The odious sign every traveller reads (or doesn't read) on Seattle busses
The bus station in the tunnel where I changed busses
Another view of the tunnel station
Crossing the street in the tunnel is
streng verboten
The University Bookstore where I bought the materials for the signs
The cafe on campus where I made the signs
One of the big round tables in the cafe where I made the signs
The sign on the last day
My last look back at my tree
No signs of life on the Quad

Postscript
Friends of mine make a pilgrimage to hometree, August 20, 2011
N.B. The side of the tree I approached it each morning from Red Square has been roped off. Why?
