Shorn

Gary Winters, with his trusty wide-angle lens managed to capture the totality of my recently “trimmed” mulberry tree. (see below)
I’m countering here with a shot from my long lens. And yes, I know the image is a total snore, but at least I got a PaD in before the sun set.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/1000s f/2.8 at 150.0mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The trimmed places resemble feathers! LOL! I thought it was a huge nest.

Oh you tortured it...and here I was thinking you never had a mean bone in your body :>))

Wow! That looks pretty brutal. I'm terrible when it comes to trimming--I never trim as much as I should...

I wish I could have said the same! -BJ

They are the craziest trees. So weird looking when trimmed, but beautiful when everything comes back.

The brutality

Oh, the mulberry tree, the mulberry tree--the poor mulberry tree. It appears to have lived a long time and I hope it sprouts again.

it may be a total "snore" . . .but I tell you what . . .I clicked on it!! HAD to know whattheheckISthat?!?

Au contraire, mon frère. I think it's an interesting image. Amazing that the tree survives this. We did something similar to a Yucca a few years back and now it's twice the size than before.
