Sad Day

Our beautiful ash trees were cut down today because they were infested with ash borer and dying. I will miss them a lot!

[Islandgirl]

Oh lovely collage to show off these beautiful trees.............they would have provided some nice shade!

[Joan Robillard]

So sad

[Faye Turner]

So sorry to hear that these trees have been cut down! Very sad indeed! Two beautiful captures!
Just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all your wonderful comments! I am a big fan of your work and your artistic eye!!!!!

[Harry J Benson]

nice collage, will you replant?

[Lou Ann]

Oh my, it’s so hard to lose a tree, and you lost two. I’m so sorry. They are beautiful in these photos, thank goodness for photos!

[Chris Johnson]

Wow the trees were so beautiful in these images. So sorry that they had to be cut down.

[Connie Little]

They are beautiful trees. I hope you can replant.
Lovely images in your collage.

[Cheri Bellavance]

So sad, I love my trees. You can replant I hope

[*lynn]

@hjbenson Yes, I'm sure we will replant -- hopefully with trees that grow fast!

[Karly]

Oh my ... I would feel like I'm sure you do - heartbroken. They are beautiful as your lovely images show!

[Milanie]

That had to have hurt! They looked like beautiful trees.

[Laura]

Beautiful shots. I'm sorry about your Ashes. We lost our 2 Ash Trees a couple of years ago. Also lost a 90' Tulip Poplar this year to another borer.

[amyK]

Sorry about your trees; they are beautiful in these photos. The ash borer has done a lot of damage in Michigan too...some neighborhoods lost a lot of trees

[Judy N]

Oh my! They sure were beautiful!

[Rick]

Wow, that will really change the view that you had. Really made for some beautiful shots.

[Lin]

Such gorgeous trees - at least you have these beautiful photos of them!

[Lois]

They were gorgeous and your photos are beautiful!

[Rachel]

They look quite lovely, so I'm so sad you had to cut them down.

[KWind]

That is sad news.. they are beautiful! I love the snowy image!

Awesome picture.

[haskar]

That is very sad. They were so beautiful.

[Diana]

Oh what a pity, they were so stunning! it will take ages to grow new ones. Lovely captures to remember them. Ps, I feel the same as Faye :-)

[Helen Sanderson]

oh that is so very sad. Such lovely photos you have to remember them by thought

[Sue Rose]

What a shame, they were very beautiful and I’m sure you must be very sad.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, no, what a shame, and what beautiful images to place side by side.

[Lynda McG]

Oh, that's very sad! They were stunning but at least you have captured them in photos to remember them by.

[CC Folk]

I am sooo sorry. The trees looked wonderful too! I hope you can replant some beautiful trees to take their place, maybe Red Maples? I love my neighbors trees that I can see from the backyard.

[Paul]

That is sad. They looked very impressive in these two images, especially in the snow scene.

[M. Brutus]

Sorry about your trees. Glad you have such lovely photos to memorialize them.

So sad.

[Wendy]

Very sad to see them go.

[Beryl Lloyd]

So sad to see them go

[Cherrill]

What a terrible loss. They frame your lovely home so well- such gorgeous images. I hope you are able to replant soon. I hate losing mature plants.

[FBailey]

How sad! They looked magnificent too

[Peter H]

Very sad. You have these great photos to remember them!

[Bep]

This is sad...Lovely images of these beautiful Ash trees. Fav.

[Marloes]

I can imagine that this loss makes you feel bad! Such nice trees that make for wonderful comps also...

[Inga Johansson]

So sad when you loose old trees. We have the same problem where I live, the ash trees are dying.

[elkehochban]

so sad! It takes so long for them to reach this size, only to be brought down by an insect. We have the same problem here.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

That is sad to hear. Beautiful comparison collage, though.

[Henri Russell]

So sad. I always hate when large trees have to be cut down. Beautiful comparison shots of the seasons.

[Adi]

:( very sad. will you be planting new ones

[Margaret Brown]

How beautiful and what a shame, I love the seasonal photos, fav

[Claude Trew]

So sad when a tree has to be cut down.
Lovely collage of your house nicely framed by the trees.

[Debbie]

What a shame. They were certainly beautiful trees. Its wonderful that you have some fabulous pictures for memories and you will have to plant some more

[carol white]

A great shame. We have problems here too, with Ash die back (not sure if that's the correct spelling)

[Poppo Livy]

Hate seeing trees cut down regardless of the reason

[Bob Zwolinsky]

:-(

[Lynne Hart]

Lovely captures. Fav

[Jerome]

Terribly sad story - I hope new trees will be planted again.
Gorgeous season pictures.

[wendy frost]

Beautiful trees and captures sorry to hear they have gone.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That is so sad! They were absolutely gorgeous. I do hope you can replant. They gave your lovely home just an added touch of beauty. Great collage!

[Jessika Panteleios]

Lovely collage of these beautiful trees. Really sad they had to be cut down.

Sad day but beautiful collage. Emerald bore is marching toward us as well.

[Nick]

Oh how sad that these beautiful trees had to be taken down. Love your diptych of them.

Oh such a shame to loose these beauties 😀

[Margo]

I bet you will they are beautiful

[photogq]

no wonder it is a sad day. they sure did set the stage for great photos.
these are beautiful photos

[PhylM-S]

I'm so sorry Lynn. It's tough. They are living things that you love and they give you such beauty. They were gorgeous and I'm sure you will replace them with trees that will be equally as lovely in a few years.

[Krista Marson]

So sad, but at least you have these nice photos. Planting new ones, I hope?
