My favorite tree died this year but in death she is still beautiful. She was around 70 to 80 years old and is a wild Chinese Elm, and lived in N.M.USA. My yard will never be the same after this tree, named Sue, will have to be cut down. Further down this page it is explained how these trees came to be here in the U.S. and the double edge sword they produce.
Cotton is growing in the fields in the foreground and the mountain range are called the Franklins. The Franklins are located in El Paso, Texas.
What makes this photo so enjoyable and different from others of its kind are the blue wagon wheels drawing colour down from the sky and the stark white of the ducks. Love it!
Today is a sad day. A big wind storm came through the area and finally brought down our tree named Sue. It also had a bee nest inside the tree so we were not able to be out side and take our time to see the damage. The bees started to chase us so between the both of us only one sting. Hopefully I will be able to take some pictures when they calm down. Last night I took about 10 photos, not knowing it would be her last, and these were her last standing erect.
Thank you cindy. This is the tree I told you about and the picture that I took from the front side of the tree, coming up the road to my house. I'm sure going to miss her!
