I really can't understand those people who say retirement is boring... I don't think I've ever been so busy! :))

Apologies all for not having been around much in Blog... no excuses really, I* just seem to have had so many other things to do. :roll:

As many of you know, I have a thing a natural patterns... the patina of rusted iron... tree bark... the textures and striations in rock... all these things and more fascinate me.

But I'm also drawn to natural framing when it occurs... so when I spotted this, I simply had to investigate.

This church is in Stow on the Wold and I was attracted by the yew trees at the left edge... so I made my way around for a look-see.

Rounding the corner I was really pleased to see the way the two yew framed the church door... could this be one massive tree with a doorway cut into it?

Moving in closer it was easy to see the trees were separate, but between them they framed the doorway perfectly... I really love the way this sort of thing happens. :)
