I took these photos because I was standing by the pool enthralled with the beauty of our Florida sky behind our tree. The very top of the tree is where the Night Blooming Cactus live.
When we bought the house 34 years ago, that tree to was not much taller than our roof line.
Much easier to see these blooms.

| In this view to the right is part of our front yard oak and to the left top is our fish tail palm in the photo below you can see on the left side that until last month there was a 2nd tree next to our pine tree. You may remember the neighbor cut it down. leaving the tall stump and tried to cut all the limbs over his property on our front yard oak tree. Behold 6 weeks after the Cutting, he had 17,000 dollars of solar panels put on top of his house. Now we know why he was trimming trees. That missing tree is making our kitchen garage stifling in the afternoons. to be continued Monday  |

Your trees are lovely. Did your neighbor ask your permission, or at least explain what he wanted to do and why? The night blooming cactus is beautiful!
Yep, it will let in more heat and more light. What a shame.
You have such interesting plants! Night blooming cactus! Wow!
When we lost our big elm tree in the backyard by our gazebo - so much changed. With no shade our plants died and then the 'trash trees' in the neighbor's yard behind us got bigger and bigger and have turned into 'real' trees and have gifted us with some shade. Trees are our friends!

... there is a bit of me thrilled that the neighbour is thinking green regarding power... but at the cost of actual green? What a contradiction! YAM xx
oh my the cactus!!! I love such little wonders of nature... the only cactus what bloomed was a carrion flower ... I had NO clue how awful this plants smell hahahaha
Love the trees. It's a shame that the neighbor had to cut one down.
Kudos to your neighbour for installing solar panels. I hope he is able to replace the tree that was sacrificed with something that perhaps will not be quite as tall. Solar in Florida should be especially efficient, I would think.
Sad to lose a tree especially when it was providing some much needed shade in Florida! Beautiful cactus bloom too..
No solar power deserves the sacrifice of your cactus tree.
As you know I too am a lover of sky views ...they are even pretty on a cloudy day. Such pretty blue you have

Yes, there are days I just look up at the sky and go, "Wow!" I wonder if one can't mount solar panels on the sides of houses -- he should buy one of those for y'all.
Sad he is helping himself and hurting you. Sorry.
I do remember the tree being cut down. Your trees have really grown a lot. There is something I love about those fish tail palm leaves.
You do have some beautiful skies!
I'm sorry about your silly neighbor...
Wow, how fast the trees grow but how sad your shade disappeared.
Sometimes it is hard to live next door to some people..
