Colorado Blue Spruce # 2

I ended up pulling that low left branch down even further the day after I posted the pictures above... it was mid 80's and I might have been drinking and I really like dropped branches. The branch isn't dead yet so might be a sign. If your wondering, the heavy copper wire at the bend is there solely to prevent the top of the branch from tearing away from the trunk.

Some of my best and worst decisions have been made several drinks or tokes into the process. I like the drop though in this case.

How about that clump of foliage on the right side of the tree? That seems to be a spot in need working out long term plans.

Not a "clump", but more of a "jumble" . Yeah, it's messy over there. In person, you can almost see the beginning of some pads being defined, but you have to squint real hard! I need to be more decisive with thinning and wiring. It's sunny and no longer mid 80's here-, so maybe it'' get some attention this weekend.
