Roots

Along the Hodder River there were places where the water had obviously risen to quite a high level. These tree roots looked very intricate and exposed.
I am tired today after our long walk yesterday so having a quiet day doing nothing much.
Saying that the phone has never stopped ringing about B&B & various stuff.

Three good things:
1. I have beaten the Sky people down for our monthly contract!
2. A talk to my sister on the phone who is sounding lots more like herself after her recent ill health.
3. Listening to grandson Jack playing the guitar on YouTube.

I did try to add the whole video as a post today but I didn't have any luck getting that to work!

Lovely photo.....it amazes me how shallow the roots of some great trees can be.....and it's often not till they come down that we know!
Loved the guitar music on your FB link. He is so enjoying it too!

[Helen K]

Roots are amazing things. Love the shapes too! Hope you are feeling rested!

[Maggiemae]

If you changed this to a dark B&W or charcoal it would look like a Durer! These trees are so strong and will not be swept away! Have now subscribed to Jack after listening to him! He looks so young!

[Jane Pittenger]

Rest well. Beautiful roots

[Maggie]

Beautifully composed and shot. It seems not to matter that there are two trees (even numbers) because the spaces number three and eye is drawn through to them. I guess every rule is made to be broken.

[Babs]

Nice shot of the roots. Hope the tree doesn't topple over being so exposed.
Just listened to the link. a very talented chap. I see he plays the piano too. He has a few things on YouTube

[Sue Cooper]

Oh I love tree roots when they're exposed like this. Nice shot.

[Margaret Obey]

Wonderful, I could use this as a start for a fantasy story.

[Karin Hirsch]

Nice shot I like the structure and texture of tree roots

[Jen Hudson]

Great view of those roots, like fingers digging into the ground.

[Gena Pegg]

Ahhhh...this is so lovely and a fav for me!
