The overhead pictures I took from a tree that I put a ladder next to and then climbed up several branches to get the first few pics. As a kid, I was constantly climbing trees, this is the first one I have climbed in a while and it may be the last.

I used to climb a huge maple when I was a kid. I could watch what was going on around me and when it was leafed out, no one could see me. It's been decades since I climbed a tree.... I let my intern do it:

That's what I'm talking about. I think it's a good idea to leave the climbing up to the youngsters.
Luv the pic.
