without warning. They were cherry and plum trees, now they are an acre of stumps.

I'd be furious.
Me either !!!
AC,
I am beyond anger when it comes to this issue. I'd be kicking people otherwise.
Consise,
I hope you mean about this specifically, and not something else or general sadness.
t,
It's a long story, but it has to do with desired housing expansion in a protected area, and sneaky politics, and corruption. At least on the outer level. On a deeper level it seems to have to do with a desire to control or dessicate nature, or an unwillingness to see our connectedness with it or our dependence upon it. Trees are coming down everywhere. I'm very sorry about your oaks. It takes a hundred or hundreds of years for them to grow back, depending on how big they were.
Festi,
Assholes or asses abound.
That is not a happy picture. Upsetting, to say the least. When I returned from Iceland last night, I saw in the dark that I have a new grove of poplar (cottonwood) trees growing in my lawn. I mean, ALL OVER my lawn. I am debating letting them stay, and actually turning my common old lawn into a new grove of trees. Dare I? I don't have the heart to mow them down. They are runners/sprigs from my older, dying cottonwoods surrounding my corner lot. I love those old trees.
that's terrible.
Terry,
I'm not the only one who is upset. There is a whole flock of jackdaws who come here every year for their July Feast. They've been circled around for a few days, wondering what the hell.
If you don't need the sunlight for a garden, let them stay. But there will always be ones to cut down. They keep shooting up forever.
Welcome back!
fille,
Yeah.
Wouldn't I love to see a Jackdaw. You know, I saw only 6 ravens total during my trip to Iceland. I was sure they were more numerous, given the Icelandic sagas filled with them. We saw many new seabirds which I've never seen before, as well as those I am familiar with. On my brief run to London, I didn't see any new birds at all. London has mostly pigeons, starlings, and sparrows. I was bummed.
Terry,
You can see a picture of them soon.
Jeanne sadness always lingers in a soul like mine,but I meant more specifically to the 'murders' of these trees.
Sounds like whoever was responsible needs some ultra-righteous, ultra-justice rained down on their morally frail little bodies.

UTMG,
As long as justice isn't synonomous with revenge, but rather widens their vision and enlightens their minds, so they realize the error of their devious and destructive ways then it's fine by me.
Are you back then? Yay.
Did you say something about a picture of jackdaws? (Hint hint)...
Yes.
Rather than go to work on the miscreants with a blowtorch, I would dispatch a vicious kick to their reasoning with the hard boot of enlightenment.
So what's wrong with a little trim now and then? Mother Earth?
Okay, Jeanne is missing in action... where are you!?
Okay Jeanne - I finally watched the copy of The Raven Flies... which I found on my last trip to Iceland. Hmmmm... trying to remember your review about it... well, the scenery was good, although it was basically just scenery of the same small area of beach near the southern Iceland city of Vik. They even managed to turn the footage backwards and used it that way too. Kind of funny actually. The only oscar contender was the little boy, after his father was killed at the end... very interesting film. :-) Have you seen the sequel?
Hope you are suriving your schooling - perhaps not as you have been absent for many moons now.
Hi Terry,
I guess it wasn't your kind of film. I'm sorry.
I'm done with school. We've been gone for a while at our old house where we have neither telephone nor internet. I'm going to post, just you wait and see :)
*grins*... the film was great - just in a genre of it's very own :-) I am glad to have seen it. Plus, I felt important being able to name the landmarks in the Icelandic scenery.
Two houses? Sounds nice. I especially like the "no phones"...
Keep up the good work » »
