Dangerous work

Guillermo and Fernando tackled a really challenging job today, cutting some branches off a Hackberry tree that had gotten too big and was shading a nice Oak tree that Guillermo planted many years ago. Guillermo has been wanting to cut those branches down for a LONG time and today it was finally done, thanks to Fernando's help.

Fernando up in the tree, sawing off a branch. Doesn't look too bad, does it?

But this is how it ACTUALLY looked, and yes it did look bad. Needless to say, it was hard for me to watch, and I was glad when he came down from up there.
Another night-blooming cereus that we went out at 1:00am to see.
