Nature makes her way. There's no getting around this fact. Whether it's a cellar flooding in a spring storm, two beautiful maples falling apart over the years or the invasive vine attacking the large pine tree, nature will end up doing her thing. She gets her way. Done deal. Put up a feeble iron fence near Bedford Park, across from the Law School and this is what you encounter. It's already being pushed out towards the sidewalk. Often she is slow and plodding, but in the end she always gets her way. Want to test her?
Ouch!
ReplyDeleteAnd around here, the tree roots upset the sidewalks everywhere. You're right, she gets her way.

Funny. At our house in Ocala we had a tree that grew right around a chain link fence. The fence was embedded in the middle of the tree! I never could quite figure out how to remove it without cutting down the whole tree. So far as I know it's still there!
ReplyDeleteNature sure is amazing. It creates and it claims.
ReplyDeleteCreating and claiming seems to be a very apt description for some of nature's handiwork.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. And, a whole lot of truth.

So intriguing . . .I frequently bow down to nature . . .
ReplyDeleteI often think that , if one day Man would disappear, it would not take a long time to Nature to go back in every place it could..

ReplyDeleteNot test necessary. I know she'd win.
ReplyDeleteI think we're testing her all the time, and the results never vary.
ReplyDeleteShe's pushy sometimes!
ReplyDeletethe endurance of time...
ReplyDeleteNature's way of telling you something's wrong
