This row of pine trees juts off to the west off County 22 just about 1/2 mile from my home.
It is most beautiful in the winter when the pine branches are flocked with fresh snow
(I know I must have taken a winter photo but I just couldn't find any) :(
This row of pines used to come up to the road
until a few months ago....
Now, most of them have been cleared away
They bowled them down and the trees were soon a hugh heap of mulch
Soooooo many beautiful pine trees, demolished!
I'm not really a "Tree hugger" but this used to be my favorite winter scene.
It is soon to be a grocery store, I do like Hy-vee, but I'd rather look at the pines, sigh!
What a total bummer. I'm sorry to see them go, as well. It's always sad when beautiful, untouched earth gets ruined by the hands of Big Money. sometimes i really wonder how worth it it truly is...
ReplyDeleteI wonder how bad we need another big grocery store in this town.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way every time I see trees removed in the name of progress.
ReplyDeleteIt'sd a shame especially when they looked so healthy!
ReplyDeleteSeeing trees cut down always makes me sad too:(
