Rotting bottom of a central 4 Sticks pine, most likely a dead one.
Looking up into the pines, with a large, long stick lodged against the most prominent one displayed here.
Moving south, we have another picture of a rock from the upper part of the Korean Channel. I’m now tempted to call this particular region Mattland or Matland, perhaps after the rock called Welcome Mat at its top. Welcome Mat refers to my former co-worker’s welcome to his new office space apart from mine, where he worked with me for several months part-time before “moving on and up”. An incident marks the break between the two. From my perspective, still on this lower plane, Welcome Mat instead symbolizes a departure. This has also come to be associated, it seems, with the drawn cover image of Elton John on his “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” album, stepping up into the painted picture of the yellow brick road on a wall. This image has been used in a number of recent collages, some displaying Whitehead Crossing locations. One of the most interesting of these is the triptych “Peanut’s Big Adventure”, which also happens to be the last collage I have completed, and the endpoint of the Falmouth series as a whole (61st work).
But back to the below Matland rock — it’s a type of partner rock to Welcome Mat, lying a number of yards to its west and south. I’m now tempted to call this Crocodile Rock, which has direct associations with another stone (same rock, former name?) called Eagle Rock. In rainier times, a small pool of water forms at the base of this particular rock. Here’s an earlier picture showing such a pool. More on this Crocodile Rock soon. It also lies quite close to Rock’s crashed rocket.
This same day of walking and exploring and snapping pictures, I decided to investigate more the perceived bee line of Whitehead Crossing, directly attached to 4 Sticks’ 4th or Last Tree. As I explain in a former post, I believe, I was sitting at Last Tree resting and happened to just look directly ahead and see the alignment of several stick or tree related protrusions. This day I took some rainbow colored twine and simply started from Last Tree, anchoring the twine, and traced the line across the protrusions, with results pictured below. I still think there’s something to this particular bee’s line, but it doesn’t seem as important now as the similar Bee’s Line of Kentucky over in Herman Park.
And also this day the toy avatars returned to Whitehead Crossing, and were now granted entrance into the heart of 4 Sticks, unlike several months ago. In scanning that older post, I remember that I called this particular collection of toy avatars the Strang Gang. Today a leader would be elected among them. This leader might actually be called Jaydee or J.D…
… but for the purposes of this post he is Lazy Sideburns Man, or actually the twin of such. As regular readers of this blog may recall, this twin was destroyed by Hater the Cow back in Fall, 2013, at my last fulfilled toy happening to date, in Herman Park’s Sharieland next to Heart Lake. In actuality, I simply went back to the same dollar store where I purchased the “original” twin and bought a duplicate toy. He is directly identified with 1973 Elvis, with similar sideburns and black hair. And perhaps similarly lazy as well.
The election of LSM as leader. Pocket Rock is to his left here, and behind him hovers his close advisor Space Monkee, a member of the Nesmith Tribe that use to inhabit the Korean Channel in some number. More on all this soon enough.
Just south of Whitehead X-ing proper, I found this conjunction of colorful spring flowers, which include a trillium (red), what I believe is bloodroot (white), a trout lily (yellow), and several violets of both white and purple variety.
