nothing is forever

Last week for Taphophile Tragics I told you about Alexander Muir and how a tree on his street had inspired him to write The Maple Leaf Forever, considered our unofficial national anthem. 
I didn't have a photo of the tree because, well, I'd never gotten around to taking one. 
Which is a crying shame because 

before the week was out that tree was knocked down in a vicious storm.

  1. Oh what a shame. I always feel so badly when I see a tree damaged...especially the older ones.

    2. Yes...we did too. Nothing at our house but up and down the street there was quite a bit of damage tree wise.

  2. Wow .... and such a big tree! It's always sad when a big (and old) tree gets knocked down.

    Thanks for sharing on Taphophile Tragics!
