Sometimes the heart is the first to go

081114

My friend Ehpem was an excellent host, and I was lucky enough to get to see Victoria through the eyes of a resident. One of the things we did was to walk along the beach at Mt. Douglas Park, picking our way between boulders and driftwood. (Every piece of driftwood was interesting to me since that’s not something I see on the High Plains. I feel like Ehpem may have been less enchanted.)

At any rate, my favorite part of this particular specimen was the way the heart of the tree was gone, lost to bugs or waves or something. It had a nice sculptural quality to it.

  1. Driftwood can be wonderful. Some days I look closely but as it is ubiquitous around here sometimes I barely see it. It’s nice to see it throigh fresh eyes!

  2. I like the feel of a montage here, Melinda. I guess that has been eaten away by the bugs somewhere. That was a great find.
