Misunderstanding

Today, I woke up at 4AM to the sound of lightning hitting a tree in my backyard, then that tree proceeding to hit my house. Later, my neighbor's tree fell over, which hit our fence, and they're not even home. FML

That's so sad. You can keep doing the project and just show the stump. Turn it into some artsy go green anti-human thing.

If you just took a picture of the tree gone and planted a new one to replace it and kept taking your pictures every day, your project would have still worked and would have been a lot more interesting.
