Evolution of Rock

"1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty with no rocks, darkness was over the surface of the deep where there were also no rocks, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the rock-less waters. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, 31 God saw all that he had made, there were no rocks and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day."*

February 2009 to Present

3 Rocks. Note, neither the car blocking my driveway nor the piece of furniture in my driveway are mine.

 

4 Rocks. As an aside this is Arborcide #1

 

8 Rocks. Sometimes they are well behaved.

 

9 Rocks. And sometimes they are not.

 

11 Rocks. Where ever do they come from.

 

Arborcide #2, sorry I thought there were rocks in this shot. The tree had just been planted earlier that day.

 

14 rocks and now some concrete.

 

The rocks were hidden by snow for quite a few weeks which was pleasant, but now they're back, oh how I missed them.

NYC Parks Dept Tree Killing info

It is illegal and punishable by law for citizens to remove, kill, or damage a street or park tree, whether intentionally or accidentally. No one is allowed to perform any work on a tree unless they are employed by Parks or are under a pruning or removal contract with Parks. Certified Citizen Pruners, who are trained to do light tree pruning by Trees New York, are authorized by the city to prune small branches that can be reached from the ground. Any Citizen Pruner who performs tree work outside of these guidelines is subject to arrest and fine. Anyone caught removing or otherwise harming a tree should be reported immediately. Call 311 to notify an officer.

Illegal Tree Work

It is illegal and punishable by law for citizens to damage, destroy, perform unauthorized tree work or otherwise harm a street tree or park tree. No work may be performed on or within 50 feet of a street tree without a Tree Work Permit from Parks. Unpermitted work can lead to serious tree damage. Anyone caught removing or otherwise harming a tree should be reported immediately. Violations are misdemeanors punishable by a fine not to exceed $15,000 and/or imprisonment for up to one year. To report illegal tree damage, call 311 or use our forestry service request system. Only Parks and contractors hired by Parks are allowed to remove trees. Any citizen caught removing a living tree will be charged with arborcide and penalized severely. For more information please see the Tree Damage and Arborcide page.

Note - Damage was reported, photographic evidence was provided and nobody went to the Big House. I am guessing that there was no severe punishment either.
