Today, it has been 8 months since I started a photography project in which I would take a picture of the same tree every day for a year. I just heard a noise outside. They cut the tree down. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I woke up and found that the tree in my front yard was gone. FML
Today, I was awakened by the sound of chain-saws. Moments later a tree branch came through my roof. FML
Today, I got home to find my truck smashed by a fallen old tree. I was going to have the tree removed next week. FML
Today, I finally went to Home Depot to buy a chainsaw to cut down the tree leaning dangerously over my garage. When I got home, I found the tree had fallen and taken out the roof while I was shopping. FML
Today, my boss sent me to remove a tree from a client's home. So I went and cut down the tree, only for my boss to show up an hour later, speechless. I was supposed to remove a sapling that had sprouted through the driveway tarmac, not the 100-year-old prizewinning Japanese cherry tree. FML
Today, a 100-foot maple tree fell on my house. I was inside. I was sleeping. FML
Today, I watched one of my neighbor's trees fall into the electrical lines outside my house. This was after he took a chainsaw to the tree. He refuses to cover the damages. FML
Today, a storm dropped a tree across my road. I would have moved it with my tractor, but there was a tree on that too. FML
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
Today, my husband finally got round to cutting down a tree limb in our front yard after months of me begging him. It fell on me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

I'm sorry! if you took a picture of the tree cut down, or the stump, it would be very artistic and would have a bitter sweet ending. And could have some environmental moral.

take a picture of the fallen tree and empty space and plant something else? idk it could show nothing lasts forever but there's always a new beginning.

Oh god! that's awful... Maybe now you could take pictures of where the tree was, and change your project into something about mans destruction of the earth?

Continue the project. Let the viewer interpret the absence. To me, such a project might highlight a natural take on a jarring destruction as everything surrounding the tree continues untouched.

'Cuts' your project short doesn't it.
