Old tree, new tree

I took this photo back in 2009, during the Great Glebe Garage Sale. I was struck by the juxtaposition of the new tree planted in the mulchy hole where the old tree (now in pieces in the background) had been. I've been keeping this post as a backup in case I didn't get around to preparing a post on time; as Spring continues to gestate and evidence of winter gets further behind us, I'm less worried that it'll look out of place.

I wonder if the man walking past was thinking the same thing?
