The first picture is a corner of the Davids’ dining room…  Nancy made the glass plate.  She is a talented potter, so I wasn’t surprised when she branched out to working also in glass.  

Bark has become for me a personal symbol of protection, so I can’t pass up an interesting tree… and after I’ve downloaded a bark image onto my computer desktop, I can resist playing around with it.  Today’s bark fascinates me as both positive and negative images.
