25 Oct 05 "La Grande Odalisque", Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, 1814
Ingres spent much of his early career in Italy and his idealised "Grande Odalisque" of 1814 shows his debt to classical art, especially sculpture.

21 Aug 09 "Jupiter and Thetis" by Ingres
Thetis begs the king of the gods to intercede on behalf of her son, Achilles.

13 Jul 09 Stream
A secluded spot on the bank of a boundary stream, under a sycamore tree. A good place to send someone down to draw water, as the stream never dries out even in high summer.

13 Jul 09 Hazel poles
Freshly cut hazel poles, stacked in front of the wood pile in the Glade.

13 Jul 09 The Five Fingered Hand tree
This is an ash tree on the north boundary, covered in ivy and shaped like a left hand with a thumb (on the left) and five fingers. In the picture, three of the fingers are clumped together just to the right of the "thumb". The palm forms a platform about five feet off the ground, and the fingers make it a good climbing tree as they lean over the stream.

15 Jun 09 Picnic tables in the Glade
No more sitting on logs! (ok, and one of those fold up chairs they sell at motorway services....)

7 Jun 09 Digger bucket and tree stump regrowing
The bucket from a JCB during the clearing and surfacing of the parking / hard standing area. To the right you can see one of the tree stumps, right on the corner, and it's already started regrowing. In a couple of years time it will be a bush, and then a small tree with several trunks.
