Tree Surgery

In August, 2007, a series of thunderstorms with violent
winds damaged many trees in the Midwest. Putting them right
was a challenging task for some very skillful people. Photos in this
gallery were taken as the trees in our next door neighbors' yard were treated.

Please excuse the jumbled sequencing while the photos are being
processed and posted.

I bet they enjoyed you taking the pictures.
Not easy work and it takes a lot of skill. All well captured.

Awesome idea for a gallery. As visually wonderful as it is beautifully cerebral. Bravo!!! V

Another creative gallery, Suzanne ... kind of a self-help primer ... appears all one needs is a truck, a tree, a camera, a chipper, earphones, a chainsaw and most likely a ladder ... I may try this on my neighbor's tree (at night when he's asleep).
