I like changes in my personal life, but around me I like things to stay as they are if that makes any kind of sense. It keeps me grounded I suppose!<br /><br />I go home to London on average every 5-6 weeks, for a few days, and sometimes I get upset if things are not exactly as I left them!!!! Like, if a certain shop, or caff has gone, only to have its place taken over by a chain shop, or chain coffee bar. <br /><br />When I am in Amalfi, I enjoy walking around il porto and watching fishing nets being mended. It is such a social event from what I can see, and I can imagine how the fisherman and their families will miss the trees, and their shade, terribly.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477812986531102750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-42659125424934989012012-03-24T20:59:50.100+01:002012-03-24T20:59:50.100+01:00It does look devestating to see the barren areas. ...It does look devestating to see the barren areas.

When landscapes change it is so sad to me. In New Hampshire on the side of a mountain was the silhouette of "The Old Man in the Mountain". It was formed by mother nature herself. Generations hand admired this wonder for years. Sadly a few years ago the rocks fell from the side of the mountain and The Old Man is gone forever.

It is very sad about the trees, but you are right to be philosophical about it, it is just a tiny blip in the whole scheme of things. Will they be planting some new trees? I recently read a quote by the gardener Monty Don, saying that it takes about 30 years for a garden to reach maturity, after that you are just maintaining it, that is not a long time at all is it?<br /><br />Thankyou for your visit and kind words, yes, I feel the same way about Picnik, I love it and will miss it. I will let you know if I find anything similar.

So unusual for your town to have all that ice and snow.<br />I agree about the trees, the little place looks naked without them, but the city can always put new ones there again, right?<br />And yes, I guess after all that's no so bad, considering all the catastrophes that happen in other parts of the world.<br />I am glad Spring is starting to show around here, too. My tulips are starting to grow and there are hardly any snow days anymore.<br />Wish you a happy weekend!Simonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827269886498919471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-80293551133358894502012-03-03T14:41:49.032+01:002012-03-03T14:41:49.032+01:00It is sad that they have no shade, no beauty of th...It is sad that they have no shade, no beauty of the trees.

But, just different, and still beautiful in its own way. Reminds me of our cabin which is surrounded by the forest service land. After we had lived there, all of the old growth trees were harvested. Was such a shock when we came, but , then we were able to see how we were sitting on a mountain ridge, which we could not appreciate before. Such beauty of the sea though along the lake coast. Enjoyed the movie of the fisherman. Very interesting. Perhaps the ladies fixing the nets need some large and very colorful umbrellas. Might soften the view a tiny bit.
