I 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.

Across the Brook
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.
CW Poplar Glyphs
