End of our Pine Tree

Just the top cut out.

A long way up.

The last of the branches.

All that remains in front of the house.

What is behind the house.

I like trees. So, I was not happy about cutting the pine between our house and the church. However, it grew so large in the 16 years we have been here that it was threatening the power lines and the buildings. So, on Friday, it was transformed from a shade tree into a pile of firewood.
I hope to replace it with a Japanese maple, but it will be a long time before the front yard loses it's forlorn look.
