  • Water Droplets On A Nasturtium Leaf

    The same leaf but at different times of day. Somehow, without a filter, it made quite a bit of a lighting difference. It was just an hour apart too. The water droplets are so delicate! I felt like they could… Continue reading

  • Knot A Hiding Place

    At first I thought this tree knot looked a bit like a flying fox in hiding. The second time I looked at the picture, I thought about a mysterious serpent peeking out. Now though it’s figurative “eye” looks more sinister.… Continue reading

    I have a bit of a talent for seeing “faces” in trees. Maybe one of these days I’ll find one that actually looks like Treebeard or some other Ent. Of course I’ll have to keep looking for an IRL of… Continue reading
