Treeleaf lost another tree, an about 50 year old Japanese ‘Matsu’ pine
that someone had been shaping and tending
all its life

like a sculpture.


It is the second one cut down this year,
a victim of hungry pine beetles.
Here are two recent photos,

including me sitting under it
just a few weeks ago.

Such is life.
