October skies

my backyard--only a couple weeks ago.  Now the leaves have mostly fallen.  The tall tree with green leaves near the right side is a black walnut.  I love the brilliant blues of October skies and the gloriously colored leaves.  Now it's November and most of the leaves have blown off the trees.

random photos of trees

Scotty's Castle in Death Valley National Park.  How wonderful to be under a tree amidst such a dry desert with almost no vegetation!

There was quite a bit of excitement around my house a few weeks ago as dead trees were being removed from my yard and a couple neighbors' yards.  Chain saws were buzzing and sawdust was flying!
This tree is across the street.  It is very tall.  This guy is above the rooftop.  He's roped in, but leaning backward and loping that branch off with a chain saw.  These guys are fearless!  I watched him swing from branch to branch like Tarzan!
(not the best photo, but if you study it, the tree sawing process seems pretty crazy)

another blurry photo, but shows the beginning of swinging through the trees, chainsaw dangling.

These guys really are fearless!

At long last, after a couple weeks of no computer, and then another without my hard drive being installed, my new computer is up and running!  not perfect, can't access my documents yet, but I do have all my photos.
Sadly, I've missed 3 letters of the alphabet!  I hope Ms. Jenny won't flunk me!

Alphabe-Thursday, hosted by Ms Jenny, is so much fun!  This week our letter is  "T."  Come visit others' submissions HERE  and join in the fun!
