Winter details from earlier this week. Bunch here from morning on the way to work, and dusk on the way home.
Happily with these photos, after having it on my camera for about a month, I felt like I learned a bit how to shoot with this at-first-awkward 135mm (crop) focal length. The lens itself is also challenging in other ways. But I am glad to have it.

I think this is the largest (and strangest) #burl I've ever seen. And the tree was still alive and happily growing waaay up top!
#ThickTrunkTuesday on Thursday
Went for a walk yesterday and came across this massive burl.
I wonder if folktales ever mention these, or if the 'pregnant' look of these burrs inspired myths about wood nymphs and dryads.
