Another Tree Cutter

As I walked out the trail yesterday I spotted another tree cutter high in a tree. The ground crew were standing in the trail and called to the guy in the tree to stop and wait until I passed. If I had known they were working I would have gone another way.
After I moved on I stopped and got another picture. I enlarged it as much as I could. I hope you can see him.

@RubyHawk .........Perhaps so. So you don't think they take turns or anything? Does make sense.

@celticeagle I believe they have ground workers and tree cutters.It looks that way. I’m not absolutely sure.

Sounds like they'll be there a while, it's spring after all.

@toniganzon All these workers I’ve seen wear the same color vest.

@RubyHawk Oh I can understand why you do. It must be so soothing to be in all that lovely surround of trees, with the oxygen life giving they give off.

Yes, I see him wearing a bright yellow-ish vest. I can also see the rope going up the tree to him.

Looks like there are many there who trims your trees. I think that is just right so that they would not grow thick and when winter comes they break and pose danger to passersby. Good thing your government is doing that it is good for the tree and those that pass by.

Cutting down trees illegally in India is a trend too but because of city development the government too is cutting down road side trees.

@aninditasen Our wild animals are disappearing at a fast rate as their homes are being taken away.

@RubyHawk It's the same thing in India too but it has an disadvantage too. Wild animals like elephants and tigers at times are entering human habitats.

That was very nice of them to stop until you passed. At least now you know that the trees have been trimmed when you take you walks.
