high up

our house is covered in Virginia Creeper and twice a year needs a trim to stop the gutters filling up with vegetation. Its a job we never look forward to, always the risk of falling ladders and vertigo..My job is to stand on the bottom rung as added stability, dodging the falling foliage and the splatty leafy scrapings from the gutter...such a relief when its all safely over.

This is the view from below. I think I prefer it to the view from above.
