Why are they continuing to ask for forgiveness for an unacceptable act?

Because acceptable acts require no forgiveness.

I agree it is time to move on; the deed was done, consequences have followed, lessons learned, but still, when i look at pictures of old growth junipers i wonder how someone could get to age 30, living the outdoor life of a climber, and still take a saw to such a majestic, iconic crowning of the natural world.

On a positive note about the tree.

The soul of this tree was released from the bondage of standing still in one place for thousands of years.

Things are not always completely what it seems .........

WB speaks the truth.

As the tree was being cut two hawks visited us. One landed on our post with a rodent in its talons, the other swooped within feet of our window. The spirit of the great juniper has taken refuge on our lot, communing with the water babies exiled from the sacred rock with a 4 lane highway running through it.

I thought most folks loved
Wood

Absolutely! Some of us even extended that love to lumber. When I was in junior high, we had an English teacher who punished unruly students (e.g. me) by making us stay after school and sand desks. As a result, we miscreants formed the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Wood.

The SPCW was singularly unsuccessful in stopping the mayhem caused by sandpaper.

How do you know?

Maybe the tree was waiting on a friend. They had big plans to trade pinecones and build tree wells for hikers and early season climbers to fall into.

Maybe the tree was looking forward to talking chit with the squirrels in the morning.

We have know idea what this tree had planned.

Sutpid Yoseicans, always projecting their beliefs on other people/perennial plants.

Junipers don't swap pine cones. Fact.

ok point taken, maybe they were saving up their berries for the next gin and tonic festival.

Who is going to apologize for the lost gin and tonics???!!!!
We have a lot of thirsty people around here.

I went to find some of my own photos. I think these are all junipers, but I don't know for sure. Is a picture still worth a thousand words these days?

Hey Joe, do those look like Junipers? I'm just guessing here but I bet many species of tree can get stunted and appear young while still being very old.

I have run into photographers from Europe who were seeking photos of some these rare trees, I hear there's a specific species in Desolation Wilderness that grows nowhere else. Did you cut that tree down anywhere near Desolation Wilderness?
