After the rain gave us a break today, the tree trimming crew came by to trim the tall palms because the winds had been far too great to attempt to do this for some time. Notice how quiet the fronds are when they started, even the lower trees.

 By the time they had moved over to the trees next to me, the winds had picked up. The trees were swaying as was the ladder. It made my knees weak watching him.

 By the time they had about finished this tree, gale force winds were again the case. Notice the fronds on both trees are "blowin' in the wind."

Now the fun began to clean up the mess. Notice how far from the trees the winds had blown the fronds.
