A tangled woodpile—
home to creatures great and small—
lizard, bird and ant.

    This pile of bramble looks almost alive, as if they are like the trees in the old movie Snow White that are grabbing at her. The file might be considered waste by some, but it is organic and life-like by me…Nice!

    Lovely words, beautifully composed picture…and I was thinking before I read your words about the lizards and birds who undoubtedly make use of that bit of shelter in the desert!

    aloha Magical Mystical Teacher – an intriguing image. i’ve always been fascinated by just how full of life a desert can be. – not all places in a desert but a lot. an intriguing place to explore – homes. cool. aloha.

    The whispy texture
    Of clouds, a perfect backdrop
    For tangled bramble.

    A home to those creatures, for sure, but it sure has elements of SPOOKY written all over it!
