The forest that I wrote about a couple of weeks ago in the article Forest's Final Spring has ceased to exist.
A broken 10 acre plot of ground, devoid of life and trees, now sits where the thriving woodland community formerly stood.
It is sad and permanent. I have watched the trees be removed during the past two weeks as the plot was cleared. The heavy equipment was ruthless--no living thing remained standing. It was like a scene from Fern Gully or Avatar.
What is even sadder was the realization that in a month or so, the new empty space will seem normal to me. I won't remember the trees and the life which abounded there in advance of the construction project now underway.
