I'm prone to rambling around the woods close to our house. This particular afternoon, I found a thicket which was the perfect frame for photos. It was dangerous-looking, being made of a particularly menacing locust tree with spikes almost two inches long. But, becoming a photographer has made me more of a risk-taker. A few scratches are worth getting that perfect shot, right?
These pictures make me think of the story of Snow White or Sleeping Beauty - or rather the evil queens in those tales - since I'm no longer a doe-eyed innocent. Did you ever think the villainesses in those fairytales were misunderstood? Or at least complex? Maybe because I've always felt a bit of a misfit, and people have sometimes mistaken my reticence for snobbery or worse, I do think about the storylines of those "evil" characters. I can't wait to see Maleficent - she's always been my favorite Disney villain. Here's hoping she gets some redemption.
I really want to have some fun with this area next winter. Maybe a full-on "villainess" post in the snow with stark, thorny limbs is in the future. Although I think snow is the last thing any of us wants to see right now!
