A 1/3 of my most photogenic oak fell to the #earth during Tuesday’s 100mph derecho (pics in comments). No power until last night but we and our family/neighbors are safe. 🙏🏻 #BlueSkyArtShow #oak #scape #ColorADay #GreenSat “The Tree of Life” (2011)

Looking up the trunk of a mature oak tree. A green leafed vine winds up the trunk. Leaves are just starting to bud on this and the surrounding trees. The sky is pale blue with a few white clouds.

Yes! We were in the basement and heard it hit the ground. My neighbor has two large oaks on their house but didn’t go through the roof 🙏🏻
