The Mighty Have Fallen

Several weeks ago a poplar was blown over in one of the massive windstorms we had.  Nearly two weeks later some of my family came up for a visit and we all went out to check on the fallen tree:

The tree is on the right of the pond, that mound of dirt jutting into the air.

It created quite the "beach."

This is not of our fallen poplar but it is a pretty picture nonetheless.

Rest in peace.
