Monday Blues: The Knoll Tree Revisited

The last time I happened by the Knoll Tree it was not looking good, but still had some pitiable branches sticking out from its trunk. Even when I first posted about it in 2015, the tree still had some branches and leaves to show it was still alive and kickin'.

Now, or at least a month ago, when I last rode past it... well, it is just a very tall stump now; what branches might have grown from it nine years ago have all withered, or broken away. The trunk itself seems like it has been decapitated. The only leaves to be seen lie around it, a thick frayed carpet. And that green spot, well, it might as well be black, if you catch my literary meaning; I don't think it is good news for the Knoll Tree.

The Monday Blues has been an occasional feature here at the blog since inception; the blues, an emotion, a color, a genre of music, with a cycling twist.
