Monument Valley in November

Spent Monday night at Monument Valley this week. Last room on the top level. It is one of those natural wonders you have to see in person. DP

Very cool! We have them in our yard, but they are generally out there at night, so I mostly see prints or scat. I used to see them more often when we had a pup that needed to go out in the evening, but since he passed, I don't go out at night as much.

This was about a month ago, power went out around 9 pm, so upstairs we went.
around 11:00 as I was trying to drift off to sleep a Cottonwood shed it's "E" for evil branch into the kitchen sky wall...

First reaction was at least a couple rather bad words. down the stairs with a headlamp I went only to see broken glass everywhere.
More bad words.
2 hours later we had 95% cleaned up and a temporary patch in place.
Scampered to the front of the house every time another big gust came through.
it had calmed down a lot by the time we decided it was patched at least for the moment.
A very good thing neither of us were downstairs when it hit... let alone standing at the sink.

I love almost all trees... I make an exception to a certain Cottonwood that I'm going to battle with, it's in a greenbelt 3' outside my property line.
This community has a "greenbelt management committee" that I've approached before about dropping this thing due to personal and property risks to no avail.
I have additional facts now to convince them the liability has outweighed the fact it's a "healthy" tree.
It's got to go!!!

Not sure if i had posted this one yet. Side trip through dc on way home from visiting son. A bit over processed but a fun look imo.

Cascade Pass back in 2014.
Late summer hikes are amazing, I avoided this area for many years due to it's popularity and "crowds"... after going up this time I changed my opinions about it.

It's not at all difficult to find a very peaceful spot to soak up the beauty of the surreal surrounding North Cascade peaks with names such as Mt. Formidable, Snowking, Sinister, Eldorado and Mixup peaks all in the 8K and higher zones.
Hearing and seeing avalanches near and far away always gives me an adrenaline charge... I admit to being addicted to mountain wanderings.
I've returned twice since then... I still crave more!

This year's big tree. Every year one of my customers buys a big tree. And we deliver it to their house.

Sorry to hear and see that. No fun when trees in houses happen. Many years ago, I lost an uncle who was living in a cabin near the Kings Nation Forest east of the Visalia area in the valley. During a snow storm, and oak went over, hit a rather large pine that in turn landed on his cabin. We do not really know how it happened, but we surmise that his was killed by the tree landing on his bedroom, but it also ruptured the propane tank and started a fire. A mess to say the least.

Trees near houses always makes me jumpy and uncomfortable.

Hope to hear that your repairs go smoothly. I know here in Placerville, CA, we are in a high fire risk area after realignment. My State Farm agent who is a major TOOL, has told me that if I even call the office to inquire about a claim on the house, no matter who is at fault, that I will get cancelled. As I’ve mentioned, he is a total jackass.
