Eros and the Tree

That morning, sunlight streaming, fragrant oils lifting away layers, opening in readiness ... a girlfriend and I had planned a photographic project, nude portraiture, turning the camera on each other as moments transpired and aspects of self came forward.

The shoot was postponed and I drove north into the bush, everywhere seeing bland sameness of trees and scrub, perfect backdrop to nude figures, but no figures.

Moving more deeply into the bush, a call to the right ... the late afternoon sun has entered a scribble bark tree and lit the precious amber juices it shares.



Bronze travellings ...



A flying thing now caught in forever becoming amber...



Un-coy, she simply is, dark mystery open to all who pass by...
