Description

The red oak is almost in my back yard with some very big branches hanging over my house. I talked to the owner of it a week earlier and he walked out to look at it as if it his first time he ever saw it. He say it dieing because of a sickness it have. I told him his insurures most likely will pay for it for it will prevent the tree from falling on his building and my house or doing damage to other people property around there. it was a big tree too. I was outside in the morning talking to the person next door and the Paint store owner came around my house and came to tell us the owner of the tree was in the dounut show eating if we wish to talk to him. I told him how the owner reacted when i talk to him a week earlier andf his eyes just rolled. Surprise me the paint owner came to talk to us for he was across the steet. I knew a lot of people talk to the owner of the tree. Anyway the next day I hear a chain saw working outside. I thought it was across the street where a tree fall down on a house.[did not get a shot of that. I missed it lol] I walked out side and saw men working on the red oak tree behind my house. I got the camera and took over 400 images in two hours. I did not get the shot where they cut the big trunk down for I had to leave before that happen. But I happy with what I got. wonder if it my talking to him or he saw what happen across ther street to the house??? any way it gone.

Paul Bunyan with his chainsaw is treading a narrow path up there on that limb, Jock, and you captured the scene magnificently. At least you have one less thing to worry about now.

Wow, good thing they took it down. If it was dying, then it was already weak and a good storm could've brought it down. The owner probably got nervous when so many people talked to him about it, and then saw what the tree across the street did, and decided taking it down was best! Good shot of this guy way up there cutting.

A fine explanation of your photo! You can be thankful the tree came down this way and not the way from across the street! A most fantastic episode in your life, to be sure!
