They are just a blessing. Humans are the curse. We invade the space and then we expect nature to behave according to our expectations. Right? Trees are just being themselves. They can't be otherwise.
@monikozi I would agree with you except the house was here first with very few trees around it. Those who lived in it before me should have taken care of a few of the trees, but let them grow. It's expensive to have really tall trees cut down to keep them from falling in hurricanes and storms. So I just pray every time one comes this way. =)
Fantastic detail - I think of trees only as a blessing, perhaps as there are none close enough to the house to do harm. Where would we be without them!
@rensala Thank you so much, Renee. I do pick up a lot of limbs, but I'd rather do that than have to deal with a whole tree on my home. It can be very scary to watch them in high winds though. I've seen huge pines snap in two like tooth picks and whole oaks - roots and all - tumble on top of houses, dragging down power lines and blocking roads.
@wakelys And where your budget is when it costs over two grand to take a big one down.
@larrysphotos Thanks, Larry.
