I need to photograph some of these decapitated pine trees.
WHY do people leave them standing....because, how much work it is to cut down and cart away the carcass of a mature tree.
Soooo many trees that withstood the derecho are amputees. Huge branches are broken off, yet the tree lives on.
I had gotten so accustomed to our battered, broken landscape. Most of it has been cleared. But that morning by the river, where so many colossal trees had fallen, blocking all access, was an eye-opener.
Here's hoping 2023 is a better year for you, @myjob! And for everyone. :)
