This is a gorgeous photograph by the late Tony Evans, the photographer mentioned by Richard Mabey in the second chapter. I wish there were more of his photographs in the book (there's only one), especially some of those he talked about in depth.
But I found some of his work here: https://www.tonyevans-timelapse.com/landscape
Let me know if you find his photo of the ancient decaying pine with marigolds, I'd love to see it.

To answer my last post:
“Then he went to the moors of Inverness-shire and brought home a photograph of an ancient pine stump (...) heraldically studded with five marsh marigold flowers, kingcups rampant. They were rooted in damp crevices and pits in the rotting wood, portals into the boggy northern past, and Tony had achieved what he always insisted photography was incapable of, showing something that was not there.“

“If photography can stop time, freeze it, representational painting contains it, not just because its making takes time, and therefore incorporates it, but because it can hint at what might have gone before and might come after. Might it be possible for the photograph of a plant to have something of this painterly quality, and record not just an isolated moment but suggest the organism's past and the invisible dynamics of its life? “

#Hyggehour is starting to turn into #Hyggehours now that the dark, wintery nights are here. Are you extending your hour too?
Tea, toasty warm under blankets and lost in tales of discovery are the best tonic to a cold, blustery day.

Joining in #5JoysFriday as I've struggled to find joy this week, like a lot of folks.
1) Rediscovering old photos back when the teens were littlies. 🥹😍
2) Taking refuge in books to hide from the real world for a bit.
3) A nice cup of coffee ☕️
4) Peace and quiet before schools out for the weekend, and we start off the weekend with a family horror movie night. 🎬
5) #NaturaLitsy Nov #buddyread is just wonderful. (Tagged)

#Naturalitsy @alldebooks this is so fascinating. So like all art, even how we interpret cave art says more about us than about the motives of the artists
