I read some years back that falling off roofs was one of the leading causes of death for men over 50. I don't know if that's true, but we leave that sort of work to professionals now.
The plant I posted today is called a tall Oregon grape. It's a very common shrub in these parts and the new growth is often very colorful.
And at least he's wearing a hat and long sleeves.
ReplyDeleteI've done my share of roofing while building Habitat houses. Not my favorite building activity. Hours in that position is hard on legs and back.
ReplyDeleteSafety, who cares about stuff like that!

He's braver than me!
ReplyDeleteAspiring to new heights?
ReplyDeleteI will stay grounded.
He doesn't look to safe up there.
ReplyDeleteBack breaking work, roofing. Still, at least it's a nice dry, sunny day to do it!
ReplyDeleteI envy him.
ReplyDeleteA brave gentleman, Lowell, but also a bit careless...
ReplyDeleteI get vertigo just looking at this photo. ;)
ReplyDeleteHot and dangerous. Bet it's an immigrant doing all the work?!
ReplyDeleteLove this composition!!
ReplyDeleteBetter now than to scale it in July. Whew! I'd get tired just watching.
ReplyDeleteThat is some tricky work that I don't think I would attempt any more.
ReplyDeleteNot a job I'd like to do!
ReplyDeleteNo fun being up on that roof. Looks like he's puttong a whole new ridge on. Good luck to him. MB
ReplyDeleteIt's a fabulous photo but shouldn't he be harnessed?
ReplyDeleteHe's daring. Even this fellow here downtown had more protection!
ReplyDeleteYup. This is another job I don't want.
