But caught my breath when you mentioned the Tree. 😞 OK, I followed that by welling up, but was delighted when I saw a “heart” (❤️) in each of the pictures of the felled tree. On the stump and on the bottom of the tree as she laying on her side and the heart showed up in all different angles.
The perps may have destroyed a national treasure, but the tree’s heart shows the last comment by her love. It reminded me instantly of “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein. The selfish act of vandalism vs the selflessness of the tree. 🤗
I think the tree should be left as it now lies, enshrined as testimony to the danger of total ignorance. I cannot even fathom the rationale someone would have do that? It is beyond me.
Gail, I love love love that you've noticed that - it had completely passed me by! How absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for giving me heart (literally) in this whole very sad affair. ♥️
Thank you so much for drawing my attention to "The Giving Tree". I've read the synopsis on Wikipedia and gosh, yes, 'selfless' is very much the word.
It's not a book (or author) I'd heard of - perhaps it (and he) had never made it across the pond. I'm having lots of conversations about the lost tree with friends and family who share my sadness - I shall draw their attention to what I've just read about the book. Thank you so very much. 😘

Actually, that's a nice idea, too. Commemorate the fallen with... the fallen. I rather like that, Sharron. 🌳
