What were they thinking?

We were driving down the street a few weeks ago and saw a landscaper pruning the flowers off some Russian sages. That's right, cutting all the purple sprays off them. Every time I go by them now, I wonder why.

Sure, you need to cut the dead branches off in the spring, but why would anyone want to cut the flowers off now and leave them like this?

Then there's this tree. Every time I drive by it I wonder, What were they thinking????

It's been like this for more than a year; it's not going to grow back. The more I look at it, the more It looks as if the tree is holding up its hands in supplication, asking, Why? Why? Did someone decide it was yard art after they pruned it to death? It just makes me sad.
