It wouldn't be Tuesday without #treetuesday! As always, a big thanks to @old-guy-photos for initiating it! You can check out this week's entries [here](https://steemit.com/treetuesday/@old-guy-photos/a-tree-mendous-tree-tuesday).

I tend to find the trees I feature on Tree Tuesday over the weekend when I drive early in the morning to a cross training workout in West Hollywood. This was the gigantic roots that caught my attention on Sunday morning.

You'd think the sidewalk would be a mess but it was completely flat and unbroken. I can't remember the last time I've seen a tree with roots like that in the city.

Here's the second thing that caught my attention, this crazy group of cacti.

I love that there are different varieties of cacti all together, but the other interesting thing is the tree in the middle. You can see in the photo above something that looks like a pole in the middle. It turns out it's a tree so tall, I couldn't stand back far enough to get it entirely in the shot!

It's one of the strangest mix of trees I've ever seen together. And honestly, without Tree Tuesday, I probably wouldn't have even noticed it!

Happy Tree Tuesday fellow Steemers!
