hanging leaf

taken on a rather late walk this afternoon as the light was going.
My mind has been on trees today. We have some ash trees at the back of our smallish garden which are lovely at hiding the job centre from view but the roots are causing problems . Had someone round today to advise and it looks like all but one will be for the chop. I'd still like a tree though so now need to think of a less invasive replacement.
Any suggestions welcome.
