Gone

A tree and flowers disappear along the River Walk

Along the River Walk

Remember the hollyhocks from July 12th's post? I didn't mention that they were right outside my window. I also captured them just in time. . . .

Tree and flowers gone

July 14, 2010
Same Location

To my surprise, when I looked outside today, huge metal jaws were devouring that very same bush. Soon it disappeared along with the tree, the mound of earth, the roses, and the other greenery. What's coming next? I'm not sure, but my guess is . . . a couple of parking spaces. [Later note: Thankfully, they will be making a new planter rather than parking spaces. For the moment, we're looking at level dirt.]

If they knock on your door, don't answer.

How awful. Remove the beauty for a couple of parking spaces. I would call that bull dozer a 'weapon of mass destruction'. MB

Now don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot..............

I am sorry to see it. Another lack of consideration by those people to the community.

That is sad. They could have at least saved them to replant somewhere else.

Plants are living things too!
