Change is hard

 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 😔.
