It’s true, I think, the trees to talk, not in our words, but in their wondrously artistic and evocative forms and shapes. This one called out to Maria, and then to me. I am doing a new series of photographs in he woods, I call it “The Art Of The Tree Trunk.”

Or maybe just “Trunk Art.” The monochrome camera is good for that, I love the detail and contrasts in this photograph. And think of all the stories the tree could tell us, if we could listen.
