(Symbol in the trees. Photo © 2009 by Robin)
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Definitely caught in the confusion of trees looking as if reaching out for help to become untangled. I really like the quote. Weston was the rebel photographer in his early days. 🙂
I was almost afraid to use the Weston quote, Anna. My photography is nowhere near his level.
Amazing the things we stumble upon, isn’t it?
One man’s garbage is another’s photo fodder.
If this symbol had meaning…. it would be “Take my picture!! Please!”.
LOL! I think you’re right, Norm. It certainly did a good job of catching my eye (and my camera).
Perfectly simple. Love the contrasting white against the sepia tones.
Thank you, Marcie. 🙂
This looks very much like a Japanese character written in the tree with a sumi brush.
It is a Haiku without the words.
I like the way you see, Robin!
Thanks, Lea. 🙂
We must see/think alike. I originally titled the photo “Character in the trees” because it reminded me of a Chinese or Japanese character.
Yes, the mundane can be exotic. It’s all in how it’s perceived. The angle in which it is taken. The spirit in which it is captured.

Hi & welcome, Brenda. And thank you for your comments. 🙂
ah, the artistic eye
not being in an arty mind frame today
i saw stray toilet paper
😉
but now i see visual haiku
the joys of artistic community and conversation
to expand one’s original perception
🙂
Don’t be afraid to use the quote. It suits perfectly this eye catching photo. You can’t just pass on by, but are drawn in to look for meaning. Good job!
The quote could not be more perfect for the photograph. I love the stark, honest, in-you-face look of it.
Thanks, Anhinga. 🙂
