  • My husband and I live in Solon Springs. This morning we took a ride over by Ramel Road because we had heard that area had gotten hit hard. I looked to the right down Ferguson Road and saw that the big tree that had always been one of my favorites to photograph was taken out, kind of sad. I found a before shot during the winter time, the road was paved around the tree. There's nothing left of it.<br /><br />Cassandra Baltes
