This past weekend, we attended the Highland Games in Enumclaw. There, amid the kilts, sporrans, and bagpipes, Martin felt right at home.
A proud member of the clan MacAulay, Martin's chosen field of work truly exemplifies his clan's motto: Dulce Periculum which means "Danger is Sweet." Climbing and removing trees--sometimes over 100' tall!--certainly is dangerous. The fact that Martin likes doing it, well, he finds it sweet!
Martin's two sons, Josiah and Michael, work alonside their father in the tree business. College grad Josiah is now working on trees full-time, and he climbs trees right along with his father. Martin's brother, Ben, owns his own tree service company in Eugene, Oregon, called Highland Tree Service through which he works on residential trees when he is not falling lumber out in the woods. Dulce Periculum!
(We do want to point out that we follow safety regulations during all our tree work. So while it is dangerous work, the Blooma Tree Experts do it safely!)
