Many years ago, Dutch Elm Disease affected many trees in Luck, WI.
The diseased elms were replaced with maple trees along Park Avenue. These maples made for a very colorful drive down the avenue each fall.
I snapped these photos in 2015.
Yesterday, I snapped another photo of Park Avenue. All the maple trees have been chopped down, leaving a long row of rather ugly stumps. It was hard to see.
The Village of Luck is doing a big upgrade project that necessitated the tree removal. I'm sure the residents are sad, it made me sad to see those stumps.
Change can be hard to stomach.
I know the trees would not have been sacrificed if there was any other option.
But it is still 😔.
