There are few that are prettier in the winter than the pale sycamore (<em>Platanus occidentalis<\/em>) against that blue and that&#8217;s what we have here. Just before I took this picture, we passed a yard with a large oak tree that had a fairly substantial branch which had broken off and which was suspended above the driveway and yard on some lower branches. The homeowner was trying to get a rope over the branch so he could pull it down. He was wearing a helmet and throwing a rope with a wrench tied to the end as a weight. It was pretty high up and by the time we got past he still hadn&#8217;t managed to get it high enough, but I assume he eventually did.
