Felt compelled to take a picture of this tree. That very afternoon, the dismantling began. Annie's Images - copyright protected and my sole property. Taken with iPhone 4.

The next morning taken in fog ... the left side missing. Annie's Images - copyright protected and my sole property. Taken with iPad Mini.

The Oak
Hundreds of years old
Sprouted from a
tiny acorn
Grew in the middle of nowhere
This might tree in all it's
glory...
Majestic...
As rural America grew
so did this tree
becoming the focal
point of a small
backyard
Through drought and
disease it stands
naked
Bare limbs reaching to
the heavens as if in
Supplication
Pleading to be allowed
Dignity in Death
Last night...
The rope harnesses in place
Chain saw singing...
the Dignity began
A slow dismantling
Dignity in Dying
