While walking recently, I came upon an inspiring piece of art. It resides across the street from the Fitness Center in the form of a tree that was felled during Ian. The tree fell into the street from preserve land and the Fire Department cut it back to the inside of the cart path. (The Firefighters cut back all the trees that fell into the Avenue to make a lane for them to drive through in case of an emergency.) As we all know, we are not allowed to trim, cut or otherwise enter any of the preserves as they are a natural habitat for whatever lives in them. Keep reading!
Kudos to whoever had the idea to “decorate” the fallen tree. It makes me smile every time I pass it on my morning walks. I think Christmas bulbs should show up on it in December. As you drive or walk by, look for it, it will make you smile too.
