2014 Picture of the Year

Mangoes · Dec 27, 2014

Pretty fall colours.

Mark Chisholm · Dec 27, 2014

Nice shots guys. I'll look for one to contribute.

I got some this year. I cant pick my absolute favorite out of these 3. Just that, they were better than some of the others I have. I dont mind that you dont vote mine your favorites....just so long as you dont put David Drivers ahead of mine. Thats all I ask.

Reg, guaranteed we all want a camera there on some days, right? Thanks for posting. You're doing great things. Period.

I'm betting Reg had to use an entire 600' reel for that tree... and an oxygen tank. What's nice is when you get up that high you just start floating around and can work most of the tree without a rope at all. Just make sure you clip back in before coming back into the Earth's atmosphere.

Sweet photos Reg.

That's from a chainsaw?

treevet · Dec 28, 2014

ms 150 before I got used to less cut thru power (compared to ms 200) and had to keep hold of the branch folding over just a little too long before it detached or it would have de roofed a very expensive garden gazebo on an estate. Used to it now.

If you look closely you will see a coon in there. There were 3 inside.

We came across a huge coon this summer. It was during my ascent that I thought I saw a small human out of the corner of my eye. I'm not sure if it lived in the tree or not, but it was a prune, so none of the habitat was lost. If that was its home, I hope it moved back in after we left. I love seeing animals during the workday.
