Interupt

The grain of a branch running crossways to the tree interupts the primary flow of this rail's grain.

Island

A tiny island of green

Reach

Two colonies of moss grow from their respective spaces at the corners towards one another

Waves

The softer lines in the growth rings of this wood eroded, leaving behind raised lines like waves flowing away from this knot

Sunburst

Deep erosion on the endgrain of this post appear as a sunburst in the evenings sun's setting rays

Fill

This moss community fills the space between two deck boards

Tendrils

Strange and wonderful green arms reach up from this moss towards the sun

Dashes

Like a short green message in Morse Code

Nestle

Life's will to thrive, even in the cracks

Waterfall

Endgrain turns and 'falls' down this post like a waterfall

Raked

Like a tiny zen garden

Constellation

Marks from the construction event, a tiny history

Askew

Parallel geometries diverge with the setting of the sun

As the sun was beginning to set one evening, I noticed the tiny plants growing in the cracks and crevices of the wooden deck I was standing on. This was a place where I’d spent a great deal of time, but I had never noticed these delicate and beautiful creatures before. It inspired me to grab my camera and explore this known terrain from a new perspective. To slow down, to draw my gaze in, closer to my body. To get down and look closer at the things around me. Quite amazing what happens when we take the take to look at things differently.
