Florez Tangle pattern I created and here is a close up of the zentangle design using my tangle pattern.
"The trees lie tangled in each other's arms"
~Robert Bly ~ The Puritan on His Honeymoon
Winter trees along the Potomac River, west of Point of Rocks, Maryland, along the C&O Canal.
It was obvious that this Gull was tangled as soon as i saw it , noticing that both of its legs were entangled in a discarded crab line. I believed it to be tethered to the ground and was promptly despatched to extrapolate it from its predicament armed with a pair of very small scissors which my wife had in her tardis of an handbag, though on approaching the bird it raised its wings and took to the air & disappears well out of my sight. sometimes you just can't help, but hopefully by posting this image more people will hopefully be inclined to think about the effect of their litter on the world around us.
Another picture of "Infinitarium" by Big Art, Oakland, CA at Burning Man 2010. This one is a closeup of one of the tangle trees.

Infinitarium
by Big Art, Oakland, CA
"infinitarium" is an organic environment that is highly interactive as it engages people on many levels. The scale of this playful garden is exaggerated, making visitors feel part of the landscape, yet humbled by nature as it looms large above them. It is a destination for people to interact with each other and the art, and contemplate the role reversal of nature being larger than human-kind. The installation is made of salvage and scrap materials, keeping it's environmental footprint to a minimum. This aspect supports the message of the sculpture; that we are small parts of a larger entity.
The components of the sculpture include water fountains, fire fountains and unique solar-powered lighting effects. The installation occupies approximately an acre. From a distance, the installation appears to be an unusual and enchanting landscape. As people draw closer to the site, the over-size scale, the elaborate details and the smaller components captivate viewers. Once they have entered the installation, visitors are enveloped by this natural, enormous environment.

More Zenith...
When I was at CZT Seminar 18, the tangle Zenith [ then yet unnamed ] was unveiled by the Zentangle creators Rick and Maria. It was our second day at seminar and they even showed us the morning's paper - which Maria had doodled on! As a result, it is a tangle fairly close to my heart.

While Artoo was in the hospital, Laura drew a new tangle which she named after her baby boy. You can see her deconstruction here: iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/2011/02/weekly-challenge-9.html. I thought it looked like a flower blossom or petal; so I did a ZIA with an Artoo bouquet, with verdigough, fescu, and pokeleaf.
I expect like most people, or at least those that are reading this (;-)) you often go for strolls around the park, woods, fields, streets and lanes around where you live. Once spring has sprung those places that you wander through change from moment to moment. Grasses grow tall, wild flowers reach for the sky, everything is in leaf and green.
A revisit to any of those places a few days, a week or a fortnight later and you'll see everything taller, seed heads developing, the undergrowth becoming more tangled and dense like a miniature jungle.
It isn't just something you see, it is something you feel, right through to your very core. Moist air full of buzzing insects and all life looking for chances to reach further, colonise, grow and develop and to bring along the next generation.
Amongst what I find so magical is the blueprints that underpin all life. Road maps and assembly instructions that say to each component part 'do this and repeat until you cannot do any more.'
Plants build spirals and circles and all manner of intricate symmetries. Cells build upon cells and those simple instructions to duplicate, replicate and grow lead to all manner of specialities and magical things. So amongst all that tangled undergrowth, whilst our own cells are a-buzz with the headiness of high summer, lies such richness, diversity and complexity. Complexity consisting of simplicity, beauty and regularity.
All life is a fusion of these two things. Complexity and simplicity, order and seemingly random chaosity. The order and the disarray, the turmoil and the calm, the tumult and the peace.
The tangle and the cube.
Apologies for the watermark, I hate them! But unfortunately it has become necessary to try and protect them a little more (not that it will stop everyone) but I still want to share regardless!

Got the great pleasure to see Disney On Ice at the Barclays Center today! It was truly amazing, and fun to watch :]
In the picture they're showing the classic movie, Tangled.
This vine which was using this paper park tree as it's host has abandoned it's efforts to destroy it for some reason.
Parasitic plants such as this, attach themselves, feed off the host plant and rob it of light, water or nutrients.They can do a lot of damage to the host.
This one has covered the bottom metre and half of the tree, growing under the loose paper bark that is falling off and revealing the parasite which now appears to be dead. It could be a weed called Dodder which I have seen growing in the area.
"7 Days of Shooting" "Week #12 - Abandoned " "Macro Monday"
"Tangled:" Walking through a wooded area after a snowfall led me to a small pond. Here I observed tangled branches interplaying with their own reflections so clear that the resulting patterns blurred the delineation between solid and liquid forms.
Going to eventually start doing more portrait work when I get my lights back, so here is a tester with natural ambient lighting.
Photographer and graphic designer, Nick Kind, got in touch with me through my site about 18 months ago.
Hailing from Leicester, England, he's been in Melbourne for about 3 years, and we share a penchant for capturing the minutiae of everyday life. His series The Shore and some of his portraiture particularly caught my eye when I first visited his site.
Two days before I left Melbourne, we finally met up in person and did a shoot in the evening at a studio on Smith Street in Fitzroy. Nick wanted to explore the idea of feeling trapped and was looking for a model, so asked me if I'd be that model.
It was a lot of fun and really easy; much less daunting than I'd expected. Especially considering we only talked on the phone for the first time the night before, and had only met in person an hour or so before starting to shoot.
Gonna get into it
Down where it's tangled and dark
Way on into it, Baby
Down where your fears are parked.
Gonna tell the truth about it,
Honey that's the hardest part.
When we get through it, baby
You're gonna give up your heart.
Gonna get into it, Baby
Gonna give them demons a call
Way on into it Baby
Gonna find out once and for all
Gonna get a little risky, Baby
Honey that's my favorite part
When we get through with it, Baby
We're gonna give up our hearts
Well there's no turnin back,
No turnin back, this time
Well there's no turnin back,
No turnin back-
No use in runin
It's always the same
You can count on the panic
It's the faces that change
We might have a change
To get this love off the block
So take a deep breath
Let's look under that rock

Kelp washed ashore on Reiss Beach, Sinclairs Bay, Caithness, Scotland.
The kelp comprosis of two species Laminaria digitata and Laminaria hyperborea. Also fucoid species were present in the tangled mass. The kelp was dumped on the beach during the mighty storm on 14 December 2012.

The kelp stalks are called stipes and the root like structures holdfasts. Holdfasts attach to rocky seabeds, rocks, pebbles and stipes or holdfasts of other algae.
