Nice little walk around Jamaica Pond
As a city dweller for several years I had never done this. Just drove by and was amazed how beautiful it is. Today is a good day to finally do it and enjoyed the crisp air and the snow!
Anya Levy Guyer was at Jamaica Pond this morning when workers began setting up to take down one of the pond's odder, but most beloved trees - the one that had long bent down toward the water, but which began dying late in 2022, a process that accelerated this year as the once narrow split in its trunk grew ever wider and the tree began to pitch itself ever lower into the water.

The old leaning tree on the Pond Street side of Jamaica Pond didn't seem like it would make it this year - the crack in its trunk widened into a mini-cavern with enough space to support several families of squirrels and it tipped even more down toward the water, enough so that you could no longer use its outer branches to gauge just full the pond was. And yet, the year after a fan wrapped some notebooks and pencils around it for people to remember it by, it persisted. It put out new leaves this past spring and they lasted until the fall. But how much longer before it just finally gives way and falls into the pond?
