In the upper mid ground is The Mogollon Rim seen from Brins Mesa Trail inside the Coconino National Forest. Above it are white and blue-gray horizontal clouds and patches of blue sky. In the middle foreground is the sienna colored trail heading away to the midground, surrounded by evergreens, succulents, and scrub plants. In the far left mid ground is part of a rocky brown and sienna colored butte. The caption is in reference to the passing of the BBB by the Senate today using an Aesops Fable, The Tree and the Axe, as a metaphor. See below: “A Man came into a forest, and made a petition to the Trees to provide him a handle for his axe. The Trees consented to his request, and gave him a young ash-tree. No sooner had the man fitted from it a new handle to his axe, than he began to use it, and quickly felled with his strokes the noblest giants of the forest. An old oak, lamenting when too late the destruction of his companions, said to a neighbouring cedar, "The first step has lost us all. If we had not given up the rights of the ash, we might yet have retained our own privileges, and have stood for ages.”
Dear Congress: As The Forest, we demand you stop swinging the Axe!
