Victim of the rain

the old plum tree did not resist to the heavy rain.

[Steve Harvey]

Too bad it didn't make it.

[Robin]

What a shame! And the poor little birds have lost their home too.

[paola]

oh so..sad..so real..

[Fiona Kierans Dunne]

Aww thats a shame. Nice capture though :)

[Tanya]

Oh no so sad. It looks like it was a few years old too.

[Gail]

That is sad ... and I wonder how many other trees rot due to the weather and can't make it.

[iiwi]

Poor birdies in the birdhouse (I'm not sure birdhouse is correct english).

[Diana Moss]

what a shame!

[Rick Schies]

What a shame and a loss. I'm sur eit had a lot of character.

[Melissa Pike]

What a shame to lose such a beautiful tree.

[Dalia ElMaghraby]

This is a LOVELY shot!

[Abraham Lincoln]

We lost a cherry tree like that once. But it was very old. This looks like a healthy tree.

[Trevor]

Such a sad sight. You must have had a lot of rain where you are. Here, it's not too bad. Just a bit of sea mist and drizzle. Hope the holidays are good!

[BirdNerd (Sandra M)]

Mother Nature is a strict parent. Sometimes these trees come down. I am sad for the owl box though. I hope it was unoccupied at the time.

[Laura Demko]

Holy Tree Tops, Batman! That was one powerful storm. You must have had a lot of wind, too. Nice photo - shows the loss of such a magnificent tree to all of nature.

[bruni]

What a shame ..hate to see trees down and this one has a birds house on it too. hope it was empty.

[Trevor]

PS On the plus side, it will make it a lot easier now to pick those plums!

[Constance Brinkley]

Good capture of this event on the plus side. Loss of home for birds on the negative side.

[Anneli Salo]

Oh, poor tree!

[Allison Williams]

I sympathize. I saw in the local paper today that our metropolitan area has lost 120 trees in the recent stormy weather of the past 3 Thursdays. It is so sad to see a tree that has stood for generations topple in an instant.

[bernadette mcelligott]

i hate to see this also, such a waste. plant another as son as you can.

[Kerri26]

That's a shame. From the size of the trunk it looks like it had been around for a long time, too. :(

[Megan Withey]

that poor tree =(

[Helene]

Thank you all for your nice messages. The birdhouse was empty and the tree was full of plums... a tart or marmelade will be made today! And we feel very sad too, it was an old but beautiful tree...

[Joe Ciras]

Sad that the tree fell. It does look like it was a health tree. Enjoy your tart or marmalade.

[Kirsty .P]

wow,you must have had alot of rain,what shame,but I guess that's mother nature....

[Darren Griffen]

such a shame to see this, but I guess nature has its way, nicely captured though

[Brad Johnson]

Gave up the ghost. Nice shot.

[taleweaver]

i hope the bird family is ok!

[bonnie lee wilson]

OOOOHHHHHH --- what a shame. Always hate to see a tree come down.
