Four Months Gone

So, I've managed to keep the picture a day project going for four months. I can't believe it myself. 

Here's what I've learned so far.

I am seeing now when I look. A nice slow-down advantage in life. After I missed a picture of a Golden Eagle sitting on a telephone pole near my yard, I moved the camera to the table next to the couch.

A difference I noticed today is that now that I'm noting what I'm seeing, and the camera is handy, I am also more likely to make a picture.

I was building a fire since Montana decided to grace us with a spring snow storm and I noticed this pattern on the underside of some bark.

I picked up the Oly and took a picture, but the light was no good. So I moved the bark over to the window.

I had a helper too.

What the heck is this?

Why aren't you making a lap?

What in the world could it be?

Missive from a lost and ancient race?

Hieroglyphics from a misplaced Egyptian?

Ogfam?

I didn't look it up, but I suspect it's the path some bug took sometime during the life of the tree.

Fun to wonder though. More fun to stop and make a picture.

All for this.
