The Broken Tree

There is (was) a large tree that I walk past on the way to and from work everyday.  I guess the strong winds Yesterday finished the tree off because this morning I found it lying on the ground.  It must have been pretty impressive when it fell because it was quite huge.  The sad thing is that it didn’t appear to be a sick or dying tree. It had full foliage and from the break it appears that the wood was healthy.  I guess that this is just the way things go.  The absence of the tree makes that leg of my walk seem very open now.
