Roots

I have lived in New Plymouth

now for ten years.

Over that time, I have

many times,

driven north

up the coast,

usually on my

way to Auckland.

South

of Awakino,

ten minutes drive

below Mokau ,

there is this

tree stump.

As drive past,

as I will be on

Saturday,

I always glance in

it's direction.

This is one of my most

recent attempts at taking

a keeper.

I'm not sure but I would

like to see this image in

black and white.

Or, perhaps, the muddy,

dirty parts of the photo

Photoshopped and turned green

like the grass.
