Hermes - you would probably have been unwise to do so. It's an old buddleia. I think it would split and crack easily.
Mind, I was having to hang on to part of the tree with my left hand while I took the photo with my right and somebody's dog was sniffing and bouncing round my ankles wondering what I was doing and I didn't dare turn round to see who owned it in case I lost my balance and fell down the small bank.
There is something special about bark and wood. I've always fancied having a dead tree trunk in the garden - to watch it slowly decay and attract wildlife etc.
Just beautiful! All of your captures are! I see you are my first follower on my blog!:) And you are a girl after my own heart~I often think I'm the only one who finds beauty in an arch of wood or dead leaves on steps...your captures are amazing! Great work! Happy New Year! Cat
I think it's because I see the world in bits, the shape of something before 'what it is'.
When I was a child, I used to wish I had a twin - someone who would see things, understand things (especially me!) and think about things in the same way. Now I'm grown up, I think my camera is propably my twin! We rarely disagree!

Lovely. I could have climbed that once.

I find all the twists and turns on tree branches very mytical..what story could they tell of their journey this way and that..a mystery!

Nature Girl - I love old wood, whether in the home or in the hedgerow. As you say, it confronts us immediately with its history.

Easy Gardener - do you have room for a piece of wood? Sounds like a good idea - sculptural.
You could have a stumpery!
