    Gnarled trees. They were everywhere, and, even with new growth, the storm still showed on them.

    We had a tornado rip through an upscale suburb of Atlanta eight years ago (nine next April) and I can still see the spiral winds in the trees when driving through there.

    Nice pic, Karen.

    I read your comment on Schroeder’s blog. I hope it’s not really that bad. *sigh*

    I guess the trees feel it as much as we do. The aftermath of this storm with stay on our lips..forever..thanks for checking in

    When I look at that picture, I can’t help but wonder how that tree gets much water. Technically, we’re still in a drought and I guess it takes time for the water table to be at a level high enough for the tree to get what it needs. It does look really pathetic.

    If that’s the tree on the corner of Carrollton and Claiborne that my class affectionately called “The Debris Tree” from our return in November until the last day of school in May, THANKS to (Alex?)the brave soul who finally removed the mess before the start of a new school year. There is progress! I emailed Shelley Midura in June and proposed that whoever removed the debris should have the right to develop at the corner. I doubt that it was either Walgreens or Roberts.

    Amy Yes it is THAT tree. Alex in Shelleys office faccilitated the clean up but the mystery remains..I hope when your students come back they will write a class letter thanking the Council Woman for making sure that the Tree has a chance to survive. Our Oak trees on Carrollton are a defining part of all of us who share the Avenue . From City Park to The River
