The tree guys came...

Wow! They work fast and they can climb. I watched this guy cross himself before going up. He made me very nervous until he was safe on the ground again! He climbed the water oak to top it just above the mistletoe.

Those guys that trim by climbing scare me (for them). Always glad to see them work their way down! Good catch of him.

[Kathy A]

It's certainly not a job I'd ever want to do

[KV]

Yes... it is very scary to watch.

[Phil Howcroft]

it is a cracking documentary shot maggie, capturing the tree topping

[Mags]

@milaniet Thanks, Milanie!

@kjarn LOL! Not what most people would want to do, but someone has to take the job. =)

@kvphoto Nerve wracking! LOL! But I love to watch the bucket truck. =)

[Mags]

@phil_howcroft Thank you, Phil!

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Mags]

@bkbinthecity Thanks, BKB!

[LManning (Laura)]

Excellent capture. I’ve watched these guys too - heart in my mouth the whole time.

[Mags]

@ljmanning Thank you, Laura! We just worry they'll fall and get hurt. =)

[sheri]

Scary work.

[Mags]

@sherimiya LOL! Very.

[Walks @ 7]

Best left to a professional, great capture

[*lynn]

good shot

[Diana]

Wow, that sure looks dangerous! Great shot of the action.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

It's amazing what tree trimmers can do!

[Susan Wakely]

Fascinating to watch with all of the rope work.

[Dione Giorgio]

The red rope immediately caught my attention immediately. Beautiful capture and he looks very professional at his job.

[Kate]

Glad you got your tree work completed

[Mags]

@joysabin Yes! I couldn't do it with my tallest ladder. LOL!

@lynnz Thanks, Lynn!

@ludwigsdiana Thanks, Diana!

@aikiuser It is with good ones! Had a bad experience with shotty tree people before these guys. =)

@wakelys It is. =)

@sangwann Thanks, Dione! They were.

@k9photo Thanks, Kate! Me too. Now to get a little help with trimming the shrubs and clean up. =)

[Peter Dulis]

Did you have a big blanket stretched out below just in case :)

[Mags]

@pdulis LOL! No. But all was good. =)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Nice capture that tells a story. Watching that would make me nervous, too.

[Margaret Brown]

They are very used to climbing but I dare say a little extra help from the man upstairs doesn’t go astray!!

[Mags]

@mittens Thank you, Marilyn!

@craftymeg So true!

[Geertje K.]

It's even harder to look when you yourself are not fond off hights, like me. I would love to be brave and climb trees...

[sarah]

Oh wow didn’t they have a cherry picker? yikes

[Mags]

@geertje When I was younger and braver or stupider. LOL! I did climb lots of trees, but not like this.

@samae Yes, but it was busy in the back and they couldn't take the heavy truck over the water line from the well to the house.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Great action shot, what a job!
