In my series of tree stories, I look for bark that lends itself / best to telling an illustrated story. I also like to find images / that when rotated relate other stories. Every time you / look at these icons, you can discover another story. / The imagery and texture of this tree tell many stories. / What do you perceive? To appreciate the imagery, / please view this in the large format.

For photography which appears to be an abstract painting on canvas/paper, but found in nature. A photo… but not looking like a photo. For photographers to take a much closer look at nature finding abstract landscapes or portraits etc in bark or rocks, even sand, ice, water ripples and shells, without the whole tree, rock, beach or shell. Abstract enough so that at first is unrecognisable as to what it isThere are already groups for flowers, insects,animals,nature abstracts, textures and patterns, but this group I hope to be stand out from other Nature groups.If you are unsure of what to submit please study the featured work above.
Leaves are OK as long as they are unusual, very abstract and macro. There are several nature groups on RB which are suitable for any shots that don’t meet the groups guidelines. Also a series is always a wonderful thing to do, but just one shot of any series will be accepted, as we like to keep the images varied and different. Another thing also, shots must be taken in nature/outdoors, not something that you have found, brought home and photographed indoors. Images must be something you discovered and photographed while out and about! Another tips is that the photo should be difficult to recognise at first glance! So don’t forget three keys points, MACRO, VERY ABSTRACT and OUTDOORS!
I’d like to encourage and inspire members to actually look even closer, use their imagination, go on a treasure hunt and find these wonderful small works of art created by mother nature but unseen to most of us!
Like an abstract macro art gallery with the artist being “Mother Nature”. Group Rules click here
This group is mainly about the little hidden things in nature that most people wouldn’t notice and that don’t quite fit in most other groups
Please only submit your very best work that you are proud of. If you wouldn’t display it on your wall for all to see, then it’s not for this group.
So, lets see what little secrets in nature that we can uncover, almost like a treasure hunt and…..don’t forget to have fun!!
