Jemina's book/Lydia's entry

A short trip to Majorca during the spring break inspired this work.  As we drove from the airport to our hotel through country lanes at night, the trees along the roadside shone up in the car headlights.  In contrast with the black sky the trunks looked stark, their open arms streched out and welcomed us to a warm new land.  The next day things looked different of course, the shapes, patterns and textures of the foliage became more significant - it depends how/when you look it?  Fresh eyes to a new place - always an inspiration.
