A stick

fell off of my tree this morning.  It was caught up in a lower branch, eye level.  I reached up to pick the branch out and started studying the branch.  It had lichen and Spanish Moss attached to it.  There was a pine needle caught up in the moss.  As I rotated the branch, I got an idea and planted the branch in a pot that was empty.  Then I got my camera, rotated the pot, and started taking pics.  What you see is the result of studying the branch from the angel of a lens.
    The second shot is the same branch , from the other side.  I found this to be a great study of details and light.
