"TO DESTROY A MEMORY"

And the Tree said to the Man with the Axe..."Why do you want to cut me down?"...."For the last 100 years Ive watched you sitting under me as I protected you from the Sun...."Ive watched you run under my branches when it rained real hard"..."And all of my dried up branches that fell to the ground were fuel for your Fireplace that kept you warm at Night"...."And when you were little dont you remember that swing that was tied to me and your Father would push you ever so higher?"...."And what about all those days that you and your little kid friends would climb all over me?"..."You kids really had a lot of fun..Remember?"................The Man stood there with his axe......Thought about it....and walked away from the Tree.......(No Way Was He Going to Destroy Memories)............

Nam, you have a poetic soul...You are right: trees in our garden are like our pets and members of our family...In Moscow I had a big garden at our dacha. Some apple trees we plant when my children were born, and now they are huge trees, which give so many apples that you can feed several families... This summer I went to Moscow and cried in my garden: nobody takes care of it as I did...But I was happy when my neighbours invited me and showed a lot of blossoming happy plants that once I shared with them (I always did it as I wanted everybody had this beauty)... I was happy: my garden lives, even though at my neighbours...

I would argue the trees worse enemy was the railroad running through the heart of the forests. Of course now there are no more forests.

These photos were taken not far from this spot. The track is now a road and the both the trees like that and the trains that hauled them away are long gone now. I mourn the loss of both.
