A drinking kind of an afternoon yesterday so a snap of the cool clouds overhead overlaid onto a headshot of me from earlier this year using PS Mix.
A friend asked me to paint the green man as I see him. Not sure if this is how I imagine him. It just evolved!

Tall Tales from the Wood: told to children and really quite friendly!
This is my greenman. These are the eyes that were watching you.
Apparently this is how it works! If you make it an Icon, It will Hit Explore! Kinda like, if you build it, they will come! LOL.

Hello Flickr friends. I've been away for a few weeks due to surgery. All went well, but it's taking me a while to get my energy and motivation back. Have been mostly housebound, so this photo is from the archives.
It a trail blaze on a path around Round Lake, taken on a photo walk a few years ago with my sister near Petoskey, MI. I really liked the blue color (most trail markers I've seen are yellow or red), and the way the peeling bark made the blaze look like a face. I wanted to emphasize the blue and the bark texture, so I desaturated red, green, and yellow in Photos.
Hope you're having a good week and I hope to visit your streams soon.
green man
He is looking down on me right now from above the picture window in the living room.
Yet another post and run to keep the 365 marching forward. Sadly, I must tend to meetings tonight.

- Petit Cazaux, il y a longtemps que tu me cherches. Je le sais. Que me veux-tu ?
— Homme Vert, c'est vous qui gardez les oiseaux, et qui êtes le maître de toutes les bêtes volantes. Donnez-moi un merle, un beau merle qui siffle bien.
— Petit Cazaux, je ne donne pas mes bêtes volantes ; et je ne vends mes oiseaux ni pour or, ni pour argent.Si tu veux un merle, un beau merle qui siffle bien, tâche de l'attraper. Et maintenant, petit Cazaux, rentre à la maison. Tes parents sont inquiets à cause de toi.
L'Homme Vert partit, et je rentrai à la maison, où tout le monde fut bien aise de me voir. Pendant trois ou quatre ans, je revins seul, et bien souvent, au même endroit. Pourtant, jamais, au grand jamais, je n'ai ravue l'Homme Vert.

MÚSICA: Folk och Rackare - De två systrarna
square panels each carved in low relief with two figures; the northernmost figure on the N. respond is a nimbed angel, holding in his right hand a short cross, and in his left hand a book ; the southern figure is also nimbed but has no wings, and holds in his right hand a long cross-staff, and in his left hand a book; the corresponding figures to the S. respond are both carved upside down; both are nimbed and the southern figure is also winged; the southern figure holds a book and a scroll, and the northern figure a short cross and a book. Those on the south are set upside down. Could this have been carelessness, as Pevsner suggests, or a reference to the legend that St. Peter was crucified upside down? Peter requested that his cross be upside down, as he felt unworthy of being crucified in the same manner as Jesus.
The Christ in Majesty in the tympanum above the south doorway is surely one of the master’s finest works, almost identical with the lost Majesty at Shobdon.
The figure is in a halo, with the knees wide apart and the feet together, and the skirt having the tense, stringy folds characteristic of the Herefordshire School. The four supporting angels fly upside down, making a highly accomplished composition. The heavy roll moulding above the door is supported on capitals decorated with birds and a Green Man.
