She is fabulous! This picture of the Peachy Poppy represents everything that is sacred, fragile, romantic, beautiful, feminine, angelic, sensual and surreal.
I have looked at your photos and blog and new site and congratulate you on beautiful work, Amy. I agree with you entirely that it is when we stop and stare, and see the Natural World for the Miracle that it is, everything gets put into perspective. Thank you for coming to visit my blog and I hope to touch base again soon. let me know if you find any other wonders. I may put my other tree photos on Flickr later – love, Wendy, x

Following on from that, a good friend of mine pointed out that I had captured a similar image in one of my flower photographs, which you can see here. Interestingly, I hadn’t spotted it at all, but now I’ve seen it I can’t see it any other way!

Hi Amy, thanks for dropping by. I looked at your ‘leafy lovers’ and it’s exactly as you describe. I am seeing these phenomena more and more. I have another set of photos with the most amazing sculptures, images and symbols etched naturally in the bark. One of the most incredible I have seen is an ash tree, scored by lightening, where the scar tissue of the bark folds back like manuscript scrolls, revealing the private parts of a woman so accurately depicted in the heartwood, it could not have been sculpted better by hand. We call her the Goddess of Wonder and keep her our secret. Nice to make the link with you via Jackie Wonder-woman. WendyX

Trees are completely fascinating, aren’t they? I was on a small island in Loch Lomond called Inchcailloch last year and did a double take when I thought I saw a naked woman who had wrapped her limbs around a tree. I laughed when I looked more closely, but I do think I saw a pair of leafy lovers of sorts. What do you think?
