When younger, I was pretty much fearless - at least, when it came to climbing trees. I probably started climbing trees shortly after learning to walk; although, of course, I wouldn't remember that far back. I do recall climbing the cherry tree in the back yard of the house in which my family lived when I was 2 and 3 years old. I have vivid recollection of climbing the elm, apple, pear, and catalpa trees at Grandmother H's house from the time I was 5 or 6 years old. However, while watching Benny "play" in the larger trees in our woods, yesterday, I kept saying (silently) to him: "Don't fall! Don't fall! Be careful!"
Because I cannot see the viewfinder of my camera when in the sun, I failed to get a photo showing how high up Benny really was. It was truly a case of "point and shoot" photography!. The following two photos should give you some clue. He was just getting setup to climb higher into the tree when I saw him.
The following photo shows the setup of the ladder. It took Benny a bit of time to get it set as he wanted it. The base of the ladder is obscured by the wood pile and undergrowth that were nearer me than was the ladder.

The following photo shows Benny rigging his ropes before he climbed higher.

In the above photo, note where the limbs fork just above and to the left of Benny's head. Later, I saw him standing on his tip-toes on the lower side of the fork, wielding his chain saw in his right hand - up above his head. We do have homeowner's insurance and an umbrella insurance policy that would cover any accidents; but, we surely don't want to see anyone needing medical attention on our property! (Or...anywhere else, of course!)
While Benny and his crew were here, they not only pruned/trimmed four large trees (which had never before been worked on, in their lives!), but I had them remove seven yew bushes from the northeast side of the house, cart off a small brush pile and cart off several really large logs from last fall's work. (You may recall that I am trying to reduce fire hazards for our home and for our neighbors' homes. It seems to be an annual thing and More tree work) The below photo shows the bare look the removal left.

The orange, red, green, and yellow paint markings in the grass demark the underground paths of utility lines. The photo, below, shows some of the markings as they exit the area of the utility service junction boxes.

Just so they won't feel left out, I'll show the other two guys on Benny's crew, below. I have them come visit me every 6-12 months, Paying them (employees of Jo-Jac's Lawn & Tree Service) by the day. They do great work!
