Lonesome Pine


Last week there was an excessive amount of chainsawing in the field down the slope from us.  We assumed it was the normal olive pruning that everyone does at this time of year, and didn’t notice until we went down there that this enormous pine had been chopped. 

It changes our view, some people would say it improves it, but we enjoyed looking at the tree, it had an old nest in it and Dave was hoping the Sparrowhawk might move in.  We share a boundary with that land, and the boundary is full of trees, but I don’t know whether we have any sort of claim to them, and whether the neighbours might just chainsaw them up if the fit takes them.  All we can do is hope they won't.



There's the tree as it was, the large silhouette on the right.
