Weeping Willow Falls in Central Park

Photo by Marc Bloomgarden

Oh no! Reader Marc Bloomgarden sent us the above picture, saying, "this iconic Weeping willow has fallen in to the Pool in Central Park." It survived the August storm that took down so many trees in the Park, so we reached out to the Central Park Conservancy to find out what felled this willow. We'll update when we hear back from them.

good news is we can have another one soon since they grow like weeds.

btw i think "this iconic Weeping willow" was probably blown over by that inveterate old iconoclast, the wind.

i'm trying to bring about "the happening" by attacking innocent trees.

meanwhile, an old bag lady seeks shelter in the ATM booth at the bank, kicked out of the homeless shelter because she's a schizo, waiting for death so the hunger will stop.

we ponder over trees.

it's amazing how you just copied what I said but then turned it around all willy nilly like. tensions are running high over the mournful loss of our arboreal friend.

P.S. a couple = 2. i learned that on the intarnets.
