Lovely, slightly weathered wrought iron table overlooking our lake.
Table by the lake side
Triangular trellises
I liked the the way that the maroon flowers contrasted with the otherwise dominant greens of the background. Also the way the weathered grey wood of the trellises peep out from the greenery.
Frog golfers
Seen in a neighbor’s driveway. Cute!
A face on a canoe
The road down to one of our beaches is lined with racks holding canoes, kayaks and the like. As I was walking past one day I noticed this “face” on one of the canoes.
I don’t know whether this resemblance is completely by chance or whether another passer-by had spotted that the two rivets looked a little like eyes; and that the trapezoidal shape could easily be the outline of a face and had then decided to scratch in the nose and mouth. Whichever it is it still looks like a face to me. I also liked the rough textures and the vivid colors.
Tree roots
I’ve posted pictures of tree roots before, most notably in:
Tree Roots (at Little Stony Point)
Tree Roots (at Roaring Brook Lane)
Wasteland off the lake (last picture)
A few black and whites from the West Point Foundry Preserve (fifth picture)
Rock Formations (last picture)
Here are some more. I like their gnarled appearance and the way they seem to reach out towards you – almost like tentacles. If you stayed in one place for long enough they’d get you eventually too (I’ve seen tree roots growing through stone in the temples at Angkor Wat and check out the last link above). Of course you’d have turned to bleached bones long before this happened.
