This is a brand new view, for "our" place. The stumpy stuff sticking up is the remains of mature trees cut this past week, again, on the water course, which is straight ahead here. To the left of the stumps further away, is the pile of brush sawed/drug out of a little copse of trees in a hollow. That will be leveled soon enough. Many deer went through there, many coyote, fox, so many, many creatures. One less place to live. For what? How much will anyone bet that little hollow never grows anything worth harvesting? It won't, and the hollow will return, it's there for some earthly very good reason.
We "have" two ponds, back and front. I am looking due south, front pond to my right. The new owners south of us ordered these trees cut down, and the trees sat, you guessed it, right on the front water course. This water course catches the spill from both the front and back ponds. The trees helped stabilize this spill, spread it out a bit, catch it a bit. Not any more. I betcha my front pond, in an extreme rain storm, (they happen), could lose it's south end's berm. Water needs to stop or slow down, as it flows. Or it will wash everything away..
