Trimming the cedars

Yesterday I limbed the bottom part of the cedar trees (a clump of about 8 or 10 cedars), in order to reduce the bushiness of the trees, and to improve the visibility of the view from the house.

As a side effect, this will create a shelter for deer. Apparently deer like to shelter under trees like this in snowstorms, rainstorms, etc. We see the foot prints of deer all over the back yard, so we know they are there!
