More damage to the old tree

More damage to the old tree
The old tree took a hit during the big thunderstorm two weeks ago. I was here when the storm started, but managed to get home unharmed. On my very short visit last week I only took a quick photo but thought the tree looked a bit different. Then on Saturday I met Christina during the rock festival and she told me that the old tree had lost two big branches. I took this photo from the side and it is easy to see the damage done.

It's like seeing a friend in the hospital. And as my wife would say, "getting old ain't for sissies".

Poor indeed. It needs some love and caring.

Ouch. I hope the tree gets some attention. Some pruning might help it.

Uh oh! This tree is familiar ... how many times would you say you have posted it's picture?

I have 391 photos of the old tree in my flickr set. Taken over the last nine years. This photo is not one of them as I shot it from a different angle. And I have a few others like this so I would guess that I have taken at least 400 photos of the Swedish Whitebeam. If you mean here on the blog I can't give you a specific number.
