Treeman ~ Tuesday’s With Cee ~ Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge ~

Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge blog provides an opportunity to show some unusual snaps that don’t seem to fit into the other blog themes I follow.  To that end, I have decided to create for myself a Tuesday’s with Cee challenge. (This one is also in keeping with my interpretation of the WPC challenge this week.)

treemanOddball:  noun   a person or thing that is atypical, bizarre, eccentric, or nonconforming
                 adjective  whimsically free-spirited; eccentric; atypical

Cedar Snag ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Broken

This week’s photo challenge stumped me until I remembered the huge Cedar tree that had lived on the south side of cabin 1.  At least twenty years ago a severe winter storm snapped the trunk about ten feet up from its base.

Rabbit Nest ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Enveloped

One spring morning I discovered this rabbit nest in a dry corner of the garden, protected from rain by the eves of my house. Rabbit nestCovered by a blanket of fur, the kits were sheltered in an earthen cocoon dug into the bark mulch under ivy.

Kits in nestAfter snapping this photo, I carefully replaced the fur screen. What a cozy little hideaway!

~ Monochrome Monday ~ Low Tide Long Beach ~

IMG_2250After Jello sniffed her way right into a tide pool – and climbed out with only a perfunctory shaking-off in response, I accidentally ended up in the monochrome setting on my iPhone. This shot is a happy result of that event.
