There are fewer ficus trees along the streets of downtown Santa Monica after the city felled 23 of them Friday for a multimillion-dollar street scape project.

Just think of how many years it has taken for these trees to grow.......

And it took mere minutes to destroy one of God's most beautiful creations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, all I can say is what goes around comes around........Perhaps lightening will strike down this street scape project.....

Damned idiots!!!!!
