This is Oscar in a tree, getting ready to cut off a branch that was hanging low over our back room roof. The interesting thing is that the branch is from a tree in the neighbor's yard! The neighbors are in the process of selling their house, so I asked permission to cut the branch off and they said "yes" and they said the workmen could come over in their yard if they had to to accomplish this. Legally I am allowed to cut any part of the branch that crosses the property line. But practically, I wanted to remove the whole branch so that I could get more sunlight in the back yard, AND I would also get a larger view of the sky from the back yard. I wanted that so that I could more easily view the moon in the western sky as it sets. So everything went well and I can see the sky better!
That is one job I am not interested in trying. A real skill for safely cutting trees. Now you should post the "after" photo. :-)
