I seem to be partial to "V" shapes even when formed by curves. The dramatic shape found in this bark pattern is supported by its rich texture and subtle coloration.

was very taken by the sight of a vigorous poison ivy vine twining around a road sign. The rusted metal and textured vines against the smooth gray metal sign are a compelling image. This the second image.

This image is full of memories for me. The view is from the rear barn door of a property we owned and loved in Woodstock, Connecticut for 21 years.
