The beautiful tree that was, but is no more. It was cut down when the property was sold to new owners.
I called it "The Bird Tree" because it would be filled with the songs of all kinds of birds, including owls and eagles who visited during their travels.

I live in the brown brick building. This tree was right outside my windows. Very Close. It was cut down when the property next door was sold to a multinational corporation. There is only concrete there now.

Utah State Capitol
The planned 'path' didn't work out. The small, fast growing trees didn't work out. Most of the large areas are covered with a lawns - That hasn't worked out very well either. The lawns die, or dry up to a crisp brown in the summer - and left like that. Then the lawns are completely replaced. So - most of the grounds are 'No Care Concrete' - with a small patch of a garden.

I took 14 photographs through a chain-link fence of the trees on the grounds of the Utah State Capitol being cut down and trashed. Most were large, magnificent trees that had been there for a few hundred years. Officials offered many excuses.
