Bob Sears was driving down 100th Avenue West when he saw a barefoot girl climbing a magnolia tree in bloom.

"I quickly hung a u-e to get a shot off before she climbed back down," he said.

"I caught her attention and was lucky to get her to look at me through the branches, then down the tree she went. Kids climbing trees – it's what they do."

The expert tree climber is 7-year-old Kaelani Inzunza Gonzalez.
