continuing to become better acquainted with this new-to-me Graflex Crown Graphic 2x3 and with working with sheet film generally. I like much about this image. Am puzzled though by thebreakdown of the surface into abstracted little tonal blocks (hinting at a Cezanne-like compartmentalization). Developer, fixer, developing process in general (temps, time, so on). The film? Ah, the many mysterious variables...
Here is another bit of fantasy with pareidolia. This is a small tree trunk sticking out of the snow. The features look to me like a small wood sprite. Or maybe even Pinocchio? Enjoy the weekend everyone.
A lovely knobbly tree trunk. I can see loads of things in it, can you?
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

If you've grown up on a farm or in the country I'm sure most of you have experienced the old tire swing in the tree, though I think they are seen in the city too. My husband and I were out driving last night and so I had to stop and take this shot, it reminded me of my youth, swinging on the tire trying not to get rope burn :-)
We had a beautiful drive along lake Ontario, at one point we stopped by the lake and I was able to watch a family of geese with their young and capture some images...they were beautiful to watch. I've posted a new blog with some of their images, check it out if you'd like.
Well, not really, but it's looks like one?, It's actually a slice of tree trunk with some naturally stained rings and patterns...
'Skull Island here we come'...
High-fiving a snapped-off tree trunk.
'Gimme five' is "a request to give the speaker a "high five," that is, to slap their (usually) raised hand with one's own, as in a show of congratulation or celebration. "Five" refers to the hand's five fingers. "Gimme" is a colloquial form of "give me."

Earlier in the year I visited the small hamlet of Mistley, the site of a number of aged oak trees including this one, aptly named 'Old Knobbley'. Old Knobbley is an 800 year old Pendunculate Oak or English Oak (Quercus robur) with a trunk girth of 9.6m at a height of 0.3m, widening vastly as it rises.
It is a gigantic tree with a huge trunk, full of burrs and knots, although not particularly tall. It has survived an attempt to burn it down a few years ago and who knows what else it may have witnessed in the last 800 years or so.
I shall not give any further information about this marvel as it is the only tree in the UK, to my knowledge, to have its own website, book and facebook page.
