Here's where it came from:
The steps from the deck are now passable without snagging branches.

Clever you. Two problems solved with one solution. And the tree looks great!
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying the tree a lot, and also the lack of shade on the south-facing kitchen window. Next year's tree will be smaller, I'm sure.
DeleteTaking the tree's picture presented problems. Using the flash blew the lights out completely; not using the flash produced nothing but the lights. Finally I decided to go with really slow shutter speed and trust the stabilization, which worked amazingly well.
Win Win!!! I kinda hate the traditional notion of killing a live tree in order to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteHmm, too bad it only works with trees and there's no way to "top" a turkey and have it grow back the next year!
Well, you know, trees don't lay eggs!
DeleteI love that your tree was one you wanted to prune anyways :).
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Waste not, want not. :)
