Looks like it's related to Nessie - in a pot instead of a loch :o

Darlingtonia wouldn't get that little darling ... he'd wrestle it back to California!

Not really a monster Robin ... only three inches high at the moment.   :D

Rogan, an extraordinary plant.... lends itself very well to abstraction, doesn't it?

These two bark images with the shadows of the leaves are so beautiful and just the sort of thing I look out for on walks in the woods, Frazer.  Are they from your garden?

Thanks Ragged Robin -

The shots of the bark are actually from Crarae Garden in southern Argyllshire - it is a truly splendid garden, packed full of great plants and well worth a long visit at any time. The trees within my own grounds are British natives, though there is a seed raised Eucalyptus gunnii.

I do enjoy taking abstract pictures of tree bark. I also like the way that lichen is so clearly delineated on north and south facing trunksides. I've attached some more shots - not necessarily that good but of some interest nonetheless......

Frazer this is evident everywhere in the forest here - the poor man's compass - love things like that!  ;)

Thanks for the new photos, abstract and thought provoking...perhaps: 3 'coral reef', 4 'desert sand dunes', 6 'Mars scape?'
