Faces in the Forest
StellaLuna and I (aka Me) love to go hiking
adventures in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. While we hike we look for faces in the trees (they tend to hide). When we spy one, I'll take a picture of it. StellaLuna likes to pose with
them ... when she can, she's not very good at
climbing trees. She says she can talk to the tree beings. She likes to tell me what they are saying since humans
don't know how to listen to them, but I think she's making it
up. Here she said, "Stumpy told me that he really
likes the hat you gave him and want to know what
it says."

The Pareidolia Forest (a photo book with words)
Using photos of StellaLuna with her forest friends, we wrote a
short story (based on a true story) called The Pareidolia
Forest. Check out the free to read version (and
the photos) by clicking
on the link below.

Silhouettes
For some of the
faces, I'll create a simple silhouette to frame the photo with, to accentuate what we saw. I call these silhouettes. You can check them out on my flicker
page,
by clicking on the link below.
