You've seen the leveled homes in Breezy Point, N.Y., the tattered Seaside Heights boardwalk, and the rows upon rows of wrecked cars by 2012's Superstorm Sandy. But photographs featured in Laura Glabman's "The Spring After the Storm" reveal another long-lasting wound: hundreds of dead and dying trees that may never recover.

The project started during the spring after Sandy. Glabman was riding her bike, and realized the drastic changes the storm was still having on her neighborhood's landscape.

"In the winter you expect to see dead trees. But when the spring came and the trees that were suppose to be in bloom weren’t, I started to take a closer look with my camera," Glabman tells weather.com.

Instead of seeing spring's signature green and yellow blossoms, trees and shrubs were growing in reddish-brown, while some just stayed bare.

"The dead trees were everywhere and were in stark contrast to the things that were starting to bloom," she explains. "It created a color palette that was so odd and interesting to photograph."

Glabman says these once perfectly pruned yards have become yet another symbol of the struggle after Sandy – even a year after the storm.

"A friend of mine compared it to the mourning period after a relative has died and you need to clean out a closet where all their belongings are, but you find it too difficult to part with. Similarly, some of these trees were specimens, and a lot of time and care went into taking care of them," she continues. "It may sound stupid, but for some, it really is hard to part with them."

She shares some of her collection with weather.com in the slideshow above. You can see more of her landscape photos, as well as other pictures she took after the storm, at lauraglabman.com.
