Nifty! That's a beautiful piece, and I enjoyed watching the "making of" video. Thanks for letting me know.

XD i cant see where the tree ends and the vine beings
Its like the proverbial snake biting its tail and symbolizing infinity

I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're absolutely right. Hmm. You've given me an interesting idea for a vegimal.

Inspiration, like gas cookers, can be explosive.

That's so neat! It's amazing how adaptive trees are!

CageyJay In reply to LovelyRen [2008-05-18 02:03:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh, definitely. This is one of the better examples, I think. After consultation with ~LiZn , we decided that this one was a poplar. But my favorite example of tree adaptation has to be the diamond willow. Those trees can get spectacular!

LovelyRen In reply to CageyJay [2008-05-18 16:44:49 +0000 UTC]

Hmm. I don't think I've ever seen a diamond willow. Then again, there aren't very many willows here.

CageyJay In reply to LovelyRen [2008-05-20 13:59:39 +0000 UTC]

True. They're mostly found in Alaska (thank goodness! Wouldn't want a blight like that on the majority of willows in the lower 48), and the trees don't tend to live as long as their uninfected cousins, but peeled and dried when they die they look gorgeous.

Hrm, this looks familiar....*squints* Oh, yes, it looks much better up close and in-focus! I think I need new glasses...

CageyJay In reply to LiZn [2008-05-16 16:30:44 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, LiZn!

Wait--... I thought you didn't bring your glasses on that trip.
Oh! Are you talking about now? Well, that's probably good. Maybe your eyes are getting stronger, so you need a lighter prescription.

A lighter prescription? I wish!
