August is off to a Stellar Start!!! by Weezilou

August is off to a Stellar Start!!!

When I woke, Ken said he was going to the park to see who was doing the tree trimming as we need some work done, post Hurricane Andrew. It wasn't until 10:30 that we saw a truck in the park with a pull-rope... I got my camera, only in time to see the entire tree falling to the ground! (Yes, that was their plan!) In that instant, look at the view we got! In late fall we see much of that through bare branches, but this is *amazing*! That's the golf course across the way and the road where everyone stops to take photos of the waterfront! We'll now see the boats in the harbour, and the iconic colours of the businesses on King street.

As I looked for a before photo this evening, I was a bit surprised I didn't have anything until back on July 2! From the front of our house, the huge tree wasn't much to inspire me., but oh boy! look at that view now!
pretty landscape and nice sun.

Quite the difference it makes. Hopefully you were able to find the help you need as well

That is quite the difference. What a beautiful view! Glad that opens up greater views right now.

Wow, lucky you. Not too many trees get lopped these days. You'll have a lovely view.

@golftragic We heard that, because it was a park, they were concerned about its instability... (No, it wasn't me that started that rumor ;)

@seattle ha! Yes, that was the first thing Ken said!!!

@Weezilou I believe you, thousands wouldn't!

@digitalrn We're not looking for anything quite so drastic! Front=View Back=Privacy

That is called The Law of Unexpected Consequences and fortunately you were the recipient of the good kind! What a beautiful vista.

@allie912 I'll have to tell Ken you said that! We were standing there slack-jawed for the briefest moment before giving it a resounding "thumbs up"! and saying "WOW" a lot!

Awesome collage

Wow! What a difference! But I can't help feeling sad about the tree being felled ;(
August 2nd, 2014  
I couldn't help but wonder why the tree was cut down, but upon closer inspection, it appears there are a number of dead areas in the now-felled tree so there appears to be a sound reason for cutting it down. You definitely benefitted from the decision!! Oh wow, what a view you now have. Yea! for you.

Wow, what a difference, lucky you.
