January 21

.

The maple trees along our street were all planted at more or less the same time.  I'm told (by a landscape architect) that they are "trashy" maples.  Not long-lived.

Two of them, in front of one house a few doors down, were in very bad shape.  Many branches obviously dead, even in winter -- no bark........

On the 21st they were dismantled, and the smaller bits were shredded.


It's always sad to see big old trees go.  At least these were clearly at the ends of their lives, rather than "healthy but taken down on some human whim"..........
