You might remember my August 2022 post of Dead Trees Standing Although there were three photos in the post, one tree was in Columbus. I noticed that the two dead trees in the park across the street are no longer there. They must have taken them down while I was out of town as I surely would have heard the operation.
The first two views – the same tree in Highland Park. This tree has lived a long time. It has come to the end of its life.

There’s a new plant, a Hardy Hibiscus, in my front garden and it blossomed. A single bloom. Very exciting to see the vibrant pink unfold.
Then I walked up to the park and saw what’s in the second photo!
Maybe next year.
