This is such a beautiful post @bluemoon. There is a great sadness indeed at the death of any tree, especially those that have had their roots planted firmly for many years. My mom for one I know had an incredible heart connection to trees and the callous manner in which mankind disrespects and disregards them.
Always wonderful to find others who truly appreciate their majestic beauty as well as their importance.
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it and I'm glad you remembered your mother, I read her wonderful posts about gardening. I'm sorry I have to refer to the past now when I talk about her.
Trees are one of the wonders of this world, they were before us on earth and now people do not behave very nicely with them.
