Fall and spring bring workmen to high places in my neighborhood. For instance last fall, a roof.
And today, the sounds of multiple chain saws brought me to the window and then outdoors to watch carefully selective tree trimming.
First, in the pines -- trees that I always knew better than to try climbing, because the branches are too weak. And, of course, there were no ropes and pulleys in our garage to allow us kids to move casually around a tall conifer like this chap.
Piles of slash are another result of the trimming.
Time for the elms -- a lot easier to catch the action in deciduous trees.
Another batch of slash is accumulating on the berm. But it will be gone in a moment.
Look at that maw! Look at the dust spots on my lens. Chipping all that slash (including branches as much as 6" in diameter) does create a lot of dust.
Wow -- the machine shoots a stream of particles into the body of the landscape company's truck. Too bad that the could-be mulch will be hauled away to the landfill.
