She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c. Ergo relativity, time, entropy, and entanglement.

Forrest fairy! Wood nymph! Dancing ballet beside an old tree and creek!
I'm not sure what kind of mushroom is this but in any case they were already quite dry and hard. [ EDIT: I found out what this mushroom is called Fomes fomentarius] I loved the way they looked on the tree trunk.
This is a short explanatory video about Fomes fomentarius www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubxx0OUHsxA

The Hallidays Point region of the NSW Mid North Coast still has areas of coastal Tallowwood, Iron Bark,Turpentine,Grey Gum, Brush Box, White and Red Mahogany and also Coastal Blackbutt despite well over a hundred years of clearing firstly for forestry, then dairying and grazing and more recently rampant coastal rural acreage developments as well as burgeoning tourism infrastructure growth.
This old blackbutt tree at Diamond Beach stands alone as a representative of how large some of these trees once were.
These days coastal old growth like this is quickly removed as coastal urban expansion brings old trees closer to people with the consequent liability issues forcing their destruction.
There are now few such trees left in most areas.
This white oak is about 300 years old and 19 feet (6 meters) in diameter. One of the largest trees on the Appalachian Trail.

A tree that is both dead, and reborn. Old and new.
I love the colors of nature in winter, and this is accentuated by the snow.
El Tejo de Barondillo es uno de los árboles más viejos de la Península Ibérica con una edad de entre 1500 - 1800 años, en realidad se trata de una teja (femenino) y por tanto da fruto. Está protegido como ejemplar singular.
Los tejos son considerados desde la antigüedad árboles místicos asociados a druidas y brujas, era común plantarlos en cementerios.
Se trata de árboles tóxicos en todas sus partes menos en el fruto pero no así en la semilla. Su madera es muy preciada, un poste de madera de Tejo se considera incluso mas resistente que uno de acero, por ello han sido talados y debido también a su lento crecimiento han sido llevados prácticamente a la desaparición. Hoy en día se encuentran protegidos y es difícil encontrarlos en su hábitat natural a excepción de jardines, cementerios...
A short stop on our trip from Kingston upon Hull to the Scottish Borders. Karen stood beside the tree to show how huge it is.
The scent of earth,
The heaviness of the air,
The warmth of the sun,
The only thing missing is....
Nasi Lemak.
This Gorgeous wisened tree extends its natural reach by casting the most beautiful shadows on the the grassy slopes. I am high on the plains above Taddington Dale about to look over Monsal Dale and the path in the background will take me there. Goodbye olde tree may that we meet again some sunny day.
One person’s garbage is another person’s treasure. The Keys are littered with abandoned boats. I came upon this one near our home. The Coast Guard refers to these as “derelict” or “abandoned” vessels. The government’s website has a definition for the two: ‘“Derelict” frequently refers to vessels that are dilapidated with an identifiable owner, while “abandoned” vessels are those where the owner is unknown or has surrendered rights of ownership. Vessels become abandoned and derelict for many reasons.’
I’m not sure why they stay sitting as an attractive nuisance without being removed by the authorities but it gives me another photo backdrop. I need to get back out here on a starry night. Until then Tracey is my Siren.
Project 365 #48 02-17-2007 (Cherokee Park, Louisville, Kentucky)
On warm-weather evenings, the field behind this tree is always full of people. There is usually a game going on--soccer, rugby, or football, depending on the season. When there's no game, people congregate with their dogs and their Frisbees. There is often a guitar player or two on the edge of the field, and there's even a trumpet player who frequently practices in that back corner near the woods. The field is usually brimming with life, and this enormous tree is the great protector--the provider of shade.
But on this night, the field was empty, cold, and desolate. I imagined the tree to be lonely, mourning, awaiting the return of life.
*****************
Images and music often go together in my mind. This photograph calls for music that is dark and contemplative. In December, my friends, Sidney King and Chris Powell, created a piece to open a concert with the theme of moving from darkness to light. I'll post a fragment of it below. I think it fits the mood of this image.
(Live recording with lots of audience hacking and wheezing!)
