Tree Hugger

This damaged copper beech tree on Wollaston Hill was turned into wood chips this week.  It seems that it was a victim of one of the numerous gas leaks in the area.  Tree specialists tried to save it but it was not to be.  John Quincy Adams, known as the "tree-planting Mr. Adams," planted numerous copper beech trees around the city ... perhaps this was one of them?

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
