RIP Big Old Oak
I know I have posted various photos of this old oak tree that had been hit by lightning over 15 years ago and still remained standing at the corner of my yard. This afternoon, with a lot of commotion, it finally gave up and fell to earth with a very loud crash!
My skyline view changed dramatically!
The neighborhood wildlife will miss it as much as I will.
RIP Big Old Tree
Remember to look for wall shadows this week!

Condolences... looks like the one in Pocahontas movie
Thank you! It did have a presence and will be missed.
muy bonitas tus fotos
Thanks so much!
Beautiful photographs. The moon between the branches is very original!
Thanks! I've had lots of photo opportunities with that tree over the years!
Stunning shots of this old tree, especially the first one 🌸💖🌸
Thanks! That was an incredible sunrise!
I feel strangely sad.
I feel like I am mourning the loss of an old friend! I was there the day it got struck by lightning. It was such a blast that big chunks of bark hit the house and it caused pictures to fall from my walls, but still it endured.
Wow...that would be scary and kind of fantastic at the same time. I would have jumped out of my seat for sure!
My initial response was to cover my head! Ha! As if that would have done any good!
I love these .. great shots... glad you grouped them so I can see them.
Thanks! I will miss that old tree!
Oh that is so sad but for certain some new vegetation will replace it:) Beautiful shots, Melinda:)
It was struck by lightning in the summertime and it was as if the leaves had been welded to the tree.. They turned brown, but hung on the branches for 3 years. It will rest where it has fallen and continue it's life cycle.
That means nothing is forever,everything will end one day. Just as that tree
Wise words, my friend!
Oh my @melinda010100. What a thing to witness!
It's love that you've told the story of it's life and "death" through your photographs though.
The noise it made did get my attention! I feel like I lost an old friend.
