Toby at the Grove by

My friend lives on an avocado grove in California high on the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The avocado trees are an incredible mass of tangled-looking branches like something out of a fairy tale.

This day, I happened to catch the light when it was dappling the trees, the ground and my friend’s dog, Toby. It makes it difficult to tell where the grove ends and which tree is separate from another.

    This is such a great image, Felicia. What is Toby thinking? The duo tone is really nice, and I like that Toby provides a sense of scale. A very nicely put together composition – well done :)

    Thanks, Wesley! I imagine Toby is pondering the intricacies of life -somewhat like the undulating, tangled branches of the avocado trees before him. More likely he is thinking, “squirrel”.
