If you go down to the woods today

Took the camera with me when we took the dog for a walk in case something interesting turned up.

Anyway took quite a few pictures, but these were some of the better ones. I think I need to adjust the colour a bit, although the leaves were silvery grey anyway.

Opinions greatly received as always.

i like those but then i would as its my job

tree(s)/bark/wood features can be difficult to shoot having taken enough to illustrate reports etc
the pine and the knarled stump (chestnut??) are my favs

leaves are fine but the first not so sure

i found this stuck in a tree yesterday

To me they look a little overexposed but it could be my monitor.

I do like number 4 though - it amazes me sometimes the shapes these things end up in. I caught sight of this one a couple of years back... thought it looked like a dog's head or something. Couldn't resist a quick photoshop edit

They are called simulacra and Fortean Times www.forteantimes.com regularly publish these (without the - rather entertaining - editing though ).

I was going to post about this anyway as this months photo of a stone 'bear' was taken by one Dave Edmondson Thought PetrolTed was a secret Fortean until I realised the spelling of the surname was wrong. D'Oh!
