There is a log on a nearby hill (that I have to walk to) that has captured my imagination. Long, split, with a "head" that looks almost like an animal head. Taken a lot of shots of it now -- also in different seasons. Some I like, but none is quite what I want yet. In fact, it's time to try it again -- think I'll try some macro this time too. I am sure I will find other "obsessional" objects and things that I want to return to again and again as time goes on. Hmmm, maybe that's not too surprising, because maybe photography = obsession. Hehehe. Later, Doe aka Marnie
