Touching Nature

Touch Nature

Top of young tree broken by human hand just leaves are budding out.

Touch Nature’s beauty;
even the hand that twists the
tree free of its growth.

Sign of times: Quality Used Furniture

While the photo is not the clearest it could be, in its own way it may match the hand-painted sign that reads “Quality Used Furniture,” and underneath it are sections of firewood. Could the sign be referring to the birds that once nested in the tree’s branches? To the squirrels, rodents though they may be, that once frolicked about from sturdy limb to sturdy limb as they ventured forth from their squirrel nest? Or is this type of furniture what is meant by rustic or roughing it? Possibly this is a Platonic set of furniture. Furniture glimpsed obliquely and incompletely in its state of perfection.

What do you think it is? Make up your own caption and send it my way. I may list the most interesting ones.
