I Can See Clearly Now...The Tree Is Gone.

This is what happens when you give a 9 year old a camera~ 176 pictures later you have the complete story and details of how to cut down a half-fallen pecan tree.

I'll save all the details and give you a speed version of how I got a new view out my back door.

First, there is a lot of contemplation about how to begin.

Then, the work begins.

This is what we could see of the fence after the big branches were cut away.

This is what was left of the tree after the downed branches were trimmed. It ain't pretty.

Behind the wheelbarrow is the short stump where a mighty tree once stood.

The fence doesn't look TOO bad either.

Surprisingly, this was the ONLY self-picture taken the whole time she had the camera!
