On exhibit some years back at the RBG (Royal Botanical Gardens), I'm still thankful of the piece of glass between us... one of the deadliest East African snakes. Slight manipulation and cropping.

Sika Deer in Winter,

used: Filter Forge, Photoshop

Doc has downed a lot of firewood over the years - always being sure to harvest the trees that are old and about to fall down on their own. When you are young, you harvest trees furthest from your cabin door, thereby leaving the trees nearest your cabin for old age, at which time you are running out of both strength and stamina. HSS!

I sought the wood in winter

When every leaf was dead;

Behind the wind-whipped branches

The winter sun set red.

The coldest star was rising

To greet that bitter air,

The oaks were writhen giants;

Nor bud nor bloom was there.

The birches, white and slender,

In deathless marble stood,

The brook, a white immortal,

Slept silent in the wood.
