Now before anyone jumps up and down about cutting trees down, this one had to go and it will be replace by something more suitable for a suburban back yard. It was planted about 30 years ago to block out the tennis club lights next door. Leopard trees will reach 20m x20m, BIG tree. Unfortunately it was planted right on top of the Sewer main (the inspection lid now has a 6.5 degree slope, so it had to go.
But every cloud has a silver lining. Have a look at my northerly view now
I can now see Vega from my backyard. Whereas before Jupiter and Spica used to skim the top of the tree. That's like 50 or 60 deg or sumfin'. Feels like about 200 deg.
Yep I'm smiling
