Affirmation

End of an era. 

The large branch that fell off our 100+ year old maple tree. It’s the same branch that holds the rope swing, seen in the picture. 

I was out on my porch cooking dinner on the grill when it happened. First thing that alerted me was the loud pops and cracks. I looked up and witnessed it crashing into the tree in our neighbor’s yard. 

That must have slowed it significantly because when it made contact with the utility line, it only stretched and bowed it instead of snapping it in two.

Everything that lives eventually dies. My hope is the tree is still healthy enough to continue. We are having an arborist come out to check the entire tree.

Yes you're so right, but it is sad if in areas were humans live where only few trees for aesthetics and a nature-connected feeling are left, this few trees fade away. I see same over here or in other city's. The trees got sick and sometimes I got the feeling they're going to die cause of their loneliness.
Just a philosophical aspect of an artist 👌🫶
