  10. Truer words were never ... or something to that effect.

    Yes, art does imitate nature. But nature still does it SO MUCH BETTER!

    Great comparisons! Great shots!

  12. This is really interesting and beautiful.

    It is extra interesting to me because one of the things in my upcoming art curriculum is nothing more than drawing branches--up close like you show.

    Happy skywatching.

  15. lovely patterns, makes you more aware of the structure of trees when they are bereft of their leaves. maybe that relates to us also, when we let down our facade there is more complexity to appreciate than we let others see or know about us.
