Earth Art

I've been busy all day, creating some cool landscaping. This huge Douglas Fir
died last year and needed to be removed. I hired Steve, an awesome backhoe
operator who has done alot of work for me in the past. When he got the root out,
I thought, hey that would look great set up in my yard somewhere.

Steve was game, so he dragged it over near my sitting area and pushed it up
It will make an awesome sculpture when I am done with it. More photos are pending.

That tree root truly is a work of art. That will look great in your yard.

A friend of mine just sent me this. "The stone altars in Ireland are called "dolmens". The story is that
there dolmens are the bed of two lovers Diarmuid & Grainne.

Grainne was betrothed to Fionn, chief of the Celtic Warriors. But she
fell in love with Diarmuid and threatened him with 'magical
destruction' if he refused to elope with her (nice lady, eh?) They
eloped and Fionn and his warriors chased them all over Ireland.

The animals & wise women cared for them and gave them advise on how
to evade their pursuers. They could never stay in one place more than
two nights. Diarmuid built the stone shelters for his lady in each
place the slept.

In reality they were probably altars. But according to the legend
they represent a time/place when your soul awakens to what it needs
and you become like a youth, filled with passion, creativity & your
soul is free & dances with the universe."
