Taken as part of get-pushed challenge from Monique "I think I would like to see you take the natural beauty that surrounds you and show us it's less pretty side." An almost impossible challenge as everything I looked at, decaying, dead, muddy, or other, did not look ugly.
Happy 85: lovely day; coffee and dog-walking with Maia; a bit of baking, a lot of reading...paper for class finished early in day..., grocery shopping and not back to work until tomorrow.
I am also tagging this as a forest friend since Joe insists that there is a lion here.
Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted to see. And to see it in its natural habitat, see it in the big picture, it would be ugly. But this, this @francoise is beautiful! Wonderful work! *fave*
