Departures

I went back tonight to photograph the tree that the Parks and Recreation department has been cutting down. It’s all but completely gone.

As I mentioned in the last post, I was going to try to make it to Pioneer Parkway again to photograph the continuation of the removal of a beautiful, giant tree. I went there and they’re making good progress (not that I’m happy to see such a gorgeous tree go).
