Not Turning

8/14/16 ink, colored pencils, Zig marker

A couple weeks ago when I first started noticing that the trees are starting to turn, I spotted this one in a traffic circle and wondered if it had already turned completely – but on closer inspection, I saw that it was dead. A block north of the one I sketched the other day, it was apparently hit by a careless driver who ran right over the circle. The plants at the tree’s base are crushed and also dead. Someday the tree will probably fall over.
