The first picture is quite an interesting and unusual one. The whole tree is trimmed but only one branch has grew so far. Nature lets you wonder, sometimes.

The tree ‘man’ can make you jump if you’re not expecting it!😄

The „man“ in the tree made me Jump a little when I first noticed him. Still not sure if I find him creepy or funny…

Loved this Susanne! I’m now stuck between worlds: should I scour the internet to find my own peekaboo sculpture to stick in some plants, or should I just let that live on in your picture 😂

Thank you for these, Susanne. I found all your photos great, of course. But the first several of your group seem a wonderful collection of lines - both natural and manmade.

Thanks, Tom! That was a bit of my theme this week. Especially the first few ones works quite well together for me.

I love that leaning tree with the face and the first shot – there’s something about a pollarded tree when there’s a little growth around the top, I think of it as his hair growing but this one’s hairdresser missed a bit! 😄

Haha! Or maybe the “customer” wanted something special! ;-)

You've gone vertical on this one, Susanne! I enjoyed following the pattern. Lovely... and this time, I remembered to expect Ben and what a gorgeous shot of him!

Ha, I didn‘t realize until just now that there were so many verticals this week! It was all about the lines and patterns for me this week.

Your posts feel very much like your zines. I like the “unfolding” of a theme that I often see in them. Great eye, as always!

That means he is getting to be a grand old wise man! He will make you do all the running, be picky with his food, and only get the ball when he feels like it. 😃

…that figure in the bushes freaked me out at first glance. 😁😇 But, saying that, a lovely visual journey.

Thank you for your comment, Todd! It think it was some sort of reed. I just loved the play of light and shadow on the leaves and only as I looked closer I noticed the silhouette of the insect. Same with the face in the tree - I really had to look twice!
