I was preparing to head to work today and found this.

A large branch from one of the trees next to the driveway broke off and fell. This is the largest branch that has come down in my yard in a while. Yet it did so during a calm weather period, (i.e. no storms or high winds).

Unfortunately, if fell on top of the Korean Azalea.

I think I see where the branch broke, which was quite a ways up.

I moved the branch off of the azalea and was relieved to find that nothing was broken.

It looks like the branch bent everything over, but didn't actually break anything. I think it will be fine.

Naturally, Leaf & Limb collection just happened in my neighborhood last week. I'll have to set the branch aside for now until the next collection in 6 weeks.
