They are beautiful and take so long to grow. I hope everything is at least cleaned up by now and that things still look beautiful. <br /><br />Parts of Florida lost something like 1/3 (possibly more) of their tree cover in the storms that criss-crossed Central Florida in the hurricanes of that fateful year we'd all like to forget. So we truly understand.<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-13271641316277229052010-03-28T15:19:46.139-04:002010-03-28T15:19:46.139-04:00Oh my ... what AMAZING images!

This happened here in England in 1988 (or was it 1987?) when we had a rare hurricane. From where we lived in the Midlands right down to the south coast there were signs of devastation just like this, with many of the old established London parks losing most of their mature trees. Experts said that most of the trees lost were either diseased or nearing the end of their natural life, but ... oh, how sad to see them felled like that.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00496924033221866102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-39838695988660280482010-03-25T13:47:36.994-04:002010-03-25T13:47:36.994-04:00Quite amazing!

I thought was was a wonderful way to emotionally overcome the loss of such historical trees.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-58502099476048202522010-03-25T10:23:51.418-04:002010-03-25T10:23:51.418-04:00Wanted to stop by real quick and thank you for the...Wanted to stop by real quick and thank you for the book suggestions.

You feel the gap where these things were for so long.<br /><br />The oak tree is supposedly able to "right" itself as it has very long roots which help to haul itslf upright again. I haven't seen it happen though. There were terrible storms in the UK which took ancient forest trees. These gaps in the forest allowed for new growth as suddenly the light was let in the canopy. This has allowed researchers a unique opportunity to study how a forest was made so hopefully some good can come to your area from so much devastation too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-56200688195873565092010-03-25T05:57:50.520-04:002010-03-25T05:57:50.520-04:00It makes you want to cry when you see the downed t...It makes you want to cry when you see the downed trees.
