The ugliest tree in town

This 75 ft Black Locust stood next to my driveway until yesterday afternoon when Tim Edwards and crew cut it down. I always thought it was the ugliest tree in town. It was also dangerous. Last September when the remnants of a hurricane came through, it dropped a 200 lb limb onto neighbor Huey Livingston's driveway. Fortunately, there were no cars parked on that spot. Had the wind been blowing the other way, it probably would have wiped out Amy's, car which was parked in our driveway. It only missed it by a few feet. We can all breathe a little easier now that it's down. It looks better, too.
