This morning, I had a nightmare about the worst storm I'd ever seen, complete with fire in the sky, and strangers rapping on my windows, and crawling through, to get away from flying debris. I woke up to birds singing. It's sunny, and the prettiest day I've seen in months. And this is the first article I've read on the internet, looking for spelling info for my kids. I love trees. Princeton has a kissing canopy tunnel, Spring is on the way, and I'll be driving there soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your pictures!

Removing large trees is a mammoth process and only experienced arborists who are completely insured to perform this task. We need to take all necessary precautions while removing trees so that nearby buildings, electric wire and other obstacles are not damaged. Nice information on the blog.

Sorry to read this. I am a real tree lover myself and carry lovely memories from Colombo, Sri Lanka, a paradise on Earth. We too have seen unfortunate things happening due to an old tree fall. Roads would get blocked and traffic diverted with all residents nearby, directly or indirectly getting affected by it. But then as you go higher in life, risk and instability is always at stake. Your story took me back in my lovely memories. Thanks...... Hi!Barbara. Sorry to read this. I am a real tree lover myself and carry lovely memories from Colombo, Sri Lanka, a paradise on Earth.

Down here in Australia - home of the eucalyptus - it is all too common for gum trees to drop either large limbs or the complete tree and too often when someone is beneath them. We are taught to never camp beneath them for exactly this reason. The only concilation is that they grow quickly if you want to replace it, but be careful not to overwater it when young so that it is forced to put down deep roots so that it stays where it is long into the future!

There was a small road in the back of my friends' house and along this road were gingko trees (yes, they do smell at certain erotic times of the year), male trees on one side and female trees on the other. It was as if they were facing each other waiting for the first musical notes to start a minuet. In my travels in the Departments of the Dordogne and the Lot in southern France, I adored traveling down the roads that became tunnels under the leafy limbs of huge chestnut or oak tree4s. There are many such roads in those departments. One of the prettiest tree canopies I’ve seen was in the town of Haverford, PA, near the college.

One year Dutch Elm disease took most of them out. Fortunately the city maintains the brick street and planted new trees, but it will take years to return to the former beauty.

I, too, am one of those people who adore the magic of a tree tunnel. I have also lost trees in storms and the violent change is especially difficult.

The road was only about 1-1/2 car-widths wide, winding, and there was a stretch of about 100 feet that had a tree canopy. Every single time I went under that canopy, I felt as if the world hushed up and I was the only person for miles and miles around. I'm sorry you lost your canopy!
