Photo Hunt Saturday--Wooden
This week's theme is: Wooden. I had a photo all picked out, but I changed my mind and decided to feature a guest photographer this week instead: my daughter (whom I refer to here as Eldest). She just got accepted into the Fine Arts program at the University of Texas at Austin yesterday; she's going to be a photographer. This is her (taken in July 2007):
She took this photo at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom in July 2006. It is part of the Tree of Life.

Congrats on your daughter's acceptance into University of Texas. She'll be a fine photographer.
The monkey on the tree looks very real :P

Congratulations to your daughter.
I remember the tree of life--very real looking and yet very surreal with all the animals. Great shot.

Hi Lori,
I have seen these type of carvings before and they always fascinate me.It's the skill of the carver that can see a shape in the wood and makes it blend in which makes them so good. Good luck to the Eldest.
Cheers Mark

Best of everything to Eldest. Photograohy is like chess, you can learn it in a day but continue learning it over a lifetime.

That is an interesting photo, you think is just a picture of a tree, but if you look closer its in the shape of the lion.
