Old Man Willow

Old Man Willow has  a mind of his own.  willow 024

A view from way down the street!  there is another house behind the tree.

The Old willow tree from up the street!  It is majestic.

Somewhere under the long branches are is our power line.

It is truly a healthy tree.

Tree Experts came over the weekend to trim the tree from the power lines.

 

July 016

Now you can see the power lines! And day light!

This was done so the electricians can come in and fix the power line into the house.  One of the old limbs was resting on our power line and with the added weight pulled the power line into the roof of the house.  A dangerous happening by all accounts.  This must have happened over winter allowing animals to find shelter in our attic.  I know I heard them in the attic but it took until late spring to find the opening left by the willow.

 

We have covered the opening with a cut piece of tarp.

The willow is very old – over a hundred is my best guess.July 026

This is  a photo  of my bedroom wall early in the morning;  It is a light box image of the old shed outside – a relic of previous tenants.

The reflection is inverted and for a just over an hour the shed would be illuminated on my bedroom wall. 

Yesterday we gave the shed away and this mornings light box was only the leaves behind the shed.

weekly photo challenge: art

canon 18 - 55 mm test 059Recycled manhole covers for some abstract art on the old city street.

Eons ago this used to be very busy bus stop and the city tore is up as it brought unfavorable attention or some such thing..  For the life of me I don’t want to understand that sitting below the great columns upon the high ledge was such a big deal – it was a great vantage point for many thing especially finding our bus in a busy crowd!.  canon 18 - 55 mm test 057

Some of the walkway in front of the bank was granite so the city put the stone aside, powder coated the old man holes and with some creative canon 18 - 55 mm test 031arrangement came up canon 18 - 55 mm test 032with art that is recycled and usable. canon 18 - 55 mm test 030
