Alas, a natural feature is getting the urbanizing treatment near my apartment. For years, it was just a beautiful slice of nature here. Now there's fencing going up - no idea if as a precursor to a building project. The fence line supposedly comes with lighting to make the site safer at night, but it'll also block grounds access to the merry moo cows who wander this route from farm to other urban pastures.

Adiós to a lovely view, and to a happy compromise between humans and the rest of nature.

@MLClark I'm sorry to see they're taking it down. On a somewhat different note, is that spanish moss I see dangling from the tree? I didn't know you had spanish moss there. Although it makes sense that you would, now that I think about it.

@MLClark OOOO witch's hair??? 😮 😁 👍 OK that is much, much more evocative that boring old "Spanish Moss". Love it!

I mean Pelo de Bruja.

El Noche de Bruja means Halloween, my neighbors told me!

@MLClark That sucks.

'Tis the way of things these days, though. People would pave over heaven to make room for a parking lot without giving it a second thought nowadays.

It seems to me like we have lost something along the way here.
