So long tree...

The City finally got around to removing the dead pine tree in the park yesterday.  That tree was at least as old as me!  We walked by as they were finishing grinding up all the dead needles and branches and they only had to fell the trunk of the tree.

2 weeks ago.  The Parks Department was out on a reconnaissance mission.

What we were greeted with as we rounded the corner to the park.

Spare no expense!  The City has a nice and new bucket truck with towable chipper.

Not much left to go.  :(  I hope they will plant a replacement tree.
