The old cherry tree in the back garden finally decided it had had enough on Monday.
I had to get some other old trees cut down a few months ago and the guy with the chain saw advised me to do the same to it while he was here.
I knew it didn't have long to go and decided to let nature take its natural course. You see, I had gotten really attached to the old thing. It used to have three big limbs and one by one over the years they fell off. In a few months there would have been a pink blossom extravaganza and the spooky thing, it was the day most likely in the year for us mortals to throw a sickie.

ahh, the impermanence of all that reminds us of the impermanence of life. i will be returning to Japan next month to see that "pink blossom extravaganza" for about the 5th year in a row at my friend's home on the outskirts of Osaka. i really want to get a "real" digital
camera and not just a "point-and-shoot" one. any suggestions?
cheers,
