Johnny
---
Yesterday we had a day's worth of tree work performed here, in an effort to avoid serious damage from the winter storms ahead. It was very COLD, with wind chill making it feel like 15F. The winds were howling, especially up in the trees. Johnny was the foreman--leader of the team.
-----
I loved watching these men at work. They were so well coordinated, with two climbing, and the others operating the crane, doing cleanup and standing by to help the climbers with their rigging. They also directed (by rope) the large limbs to a safe landing. Danger lurked, ever present, but the men looked out for one another.
---
I feel a lot safer now. The terrifying winds during Hurricane Sandy were enough, with limbs thudding down around us for the whole night. NOT AGAIN!

It takes well over an hour to set up all the rigging necessary for a high altitude climb. Amazing to observe.

Great capture and B&W presentation Michelle. I know what you mean when you can just sit and watch them at work because I did the same thing a number of years ago when I had two large trees removed. Johnny sure looks like he enjoys his work with the big broad smile on his face, it was either that or the fact that you were serving them hot chocolate and cookies all day to keep them warm.
