Description
When I was on Lopez Island last weekend, I saw this face. I promise ... it was really there! I didn't paint or postwork this image, except to do a very slight color pop to separate the face from the surrounding greenery.
On the way back up to the truck, I showed it to my friends, and they asked if I would write a poem about it.
So here you have it ...
..........
The Watcher in the Woods
While walking in the woods
The other day
I came upon a face
I stopped, we stared
I gazed upon him there
Delighted, charmed
With him all mossy
And implacable
The things he must have seen
As seasons change
Young lovers strolling
In the springtime rain
The creatures of the woods
About their lives
With darkness as his rest
When all are gone
My camera out
I snapped and clicked and shot
While thinking of my friends
Who want to see
This face this silent
Watcher in the woods
This Lopez Island
Denizen of peace

Quite an imposing presence, with ferns galore! And, of course, a title worthy of a horror movie. Stellar mossy colors and lighting effects make this a superlative composition.
