WH Crossing 04
Rock island lying at the upper end of Green Stream’s Straightway. I believe the 2 redder objects are bits of brick, which then have to be manmade.
Crocodile Rock.
Perhaps odd, broken off or cut off branches on either side of Green Stream near the center of the Straightway.
Contrast of red brick and green plant.
Old fence post. There are several of these in Matland.
Hidden Rock just east of Welcome Mat.
More aligned and also as yet unnamed rocks extending uphill from 4 Sticks in a westerly direction.
Vinland vines.

WH Crossing 03
I believe this may be Eagle Rock next to Green Stream. I have years and years to figure out all these names. Well, at least 10. Eagle Rock, if it ends up being called that, forms a triumvirate with Crocodile Rock and Welcome Mat in Matland. They’re similarly sized, spaced, and also align with each other. Cool!
Top o’ the gateway hemlocks again at the end of Green Stream’s Straightway.
One of several black plastic pots found in the region. A mystery concerning Crocodile Rock and these pots will be discussed soon.
Passageway over a ridge covered with rhododendron.
Bramble of briars on the way to 4 Sticks.
A differently hued, central 4 Sticks tree
Little Whitehead from its top.
Queer markings on a log beside and above Eagle Rock.
Gateway hemlocks.

WH Crossing 02
Greene Knob seen through Whitehead Crossing trees. Greene Knob is about the same height as Allen Knob, which The Crossing is at the base of. The top of Green Stream runs between the 2 mountains.
Another Heart o’ Whitehead X-ing picture, this time from Big Log looking over the top of Orange Hill to Mouse Island just behind it. Mouse Island might become another stuff of legends soon enough, perhaps attached to the Gill’s Pier 2052 Celebration.
Moss and licken bedecked WH X-ing log.
Curious bark, probably hemlock.
Big Log from Mouse Island.
Diamond Beach a bit downstream from Big Log/Orange Hill/Mouse Island.
Namesake Diamond Rock is still anchored in place near the banks of Whitehead Stream. I’ve deemed the rock a supernatural phenomenon, and this appellation would go for a number of other regional objects. I’ll have to make a list of ’em soon.
Close up of tree roots just across Whitehead Stream from Diamond Beach. Another fairy dwelling? Probably.
Big Log, etc., from Diamond Beach.
Entrance into Matland from the direction of 4 Sticks, Welcome Mat rock in the foreground. I’d also include this rock with Diamond Rock as supernatural in origin at its core. And perhaps not by accident both of these rocks appear together in a recent Falmouth series collage (“Sky Diamond”).
Another very interesting aspect of Welcome Mat is that it appears to align with 2 other rocks of Matland, defining an overall spine or meridian of the region marking the upper limit of the Korean Channel. The other 2 rocks remain unnamed for now…
… This is the central of the 3, and in rainier times a pool appears at its base.
Let me pull up an older photograph of this rock for comparision.
There was also a black plastic pail appearing on or near the rock in the past, which now seems to have moved west to reside more near the western edge of Matland. In fact this present day of photo snapping I found several such pails or buckets in Matland.

WH Crossing 01
Exciting new hikes into Whitehead Crossing in Frank Park, which will continue through the spring and perhaps even the summer. I expect a detailed map of the region to be produced sometime soon. Below is an unnamed rock near the Welcome Mat, separating Matland and Whitehead Crossing proper, and where you have to literally (and psychologically) “step up” from the top of the Korean Channel to enter the latter.
This particular day I also revisited Hucka Doobie’s homeland of Greenhead, where he lived as a part bee, part human avatar in the 1500s. Well, I’m not sure of the century, if it can even be calculated, so I just threw in that particular one as filler for now. Hucka is also present in the last, let’s see, 4 collages of the Falmouth series, which now seems to be completed (!). He’s quite excited to loom so large in the end.
Below we have another picture of Waxy, the branch configuration Hucka D. has said is a representation of a martin bird, connected to Allen Knob and its Martin Falls as a whole. I’ll have to go down to Martin Falls for some pics fairly soon, esp. during or immediately after a hefty rain. But not in the near future, since that would involve some steep walking, which I’m not allowed to do for a while. *Hate* to be limited in such a way.
I’m going to call this larger open region of Whitehead X-ing The Mall for now. It’s perhaps defined by the limits of a certain green ground cover that I’ll have to look up the name later. Hemlocks and tulip trees like the below clump sprout from within. There are several such closely tied clumps of trees here, and again I’ll have to study up on that more as well — perhaps include them in my map I’ll soon produce.*
An interesting crossing of trunks at The Mall, like a type of art in and of itself. Notice that the perpendicular trunk of the fallen tree weaves between the 2 of the 3 standing trees, wedging it into place and not allowing it to drop to the ground.
Directly uphill from The Mall. The ground cover (name pending) does not follow us upslope, yielding (once more) to leafy ground. But interesting stick/branch formations remain. Below we have a contrast of another wedged branch (between two conjoined tulip or poplar trees this time) beside a perhaps quirky tree stump.
A straight stick, about the size perhaps of a walking stick, is stuck in the ground behind the trunk, almost as if accomplished by human hands. But, once again, I’m probably the only human that visits this place, and I didn’t do it.
Still just uphill from The Mall appears this more curious rock piling in a shallow vale, which could denote a past fairy dwelling, or perhaps even present one still. Hucka D. may have more to say about this “dwelling” soon enough.
There *does* seem to be a kind of door into it.
Nearby is another artistic crossing of branches.
In looking at it now, it kind of reminds me of a crab coming head on, claws spread.
From about the same position, looking into the heart of 4 Sticks and the attached pine grove.
Still quite gray in the woods as you can see.
* The ground cover appears to be one called complanatum. More info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphasiastrum_complanatum
It’s better known as Creeping Jenny, it seems, a type of clubmoss. Also known as “Bear’s Paw”.
Here’s another picture of it…

Collage 60 (and 61?) 02
“Hucka D., collage 60, 61, etc. may never be completed. That could be the whole top floor of the Falmouth Gallery. I’d forgotten I’d originally called the gallery the Fal Mouth Moon. Instead it may “devolve” into a series of studies concerning Whitehead X-ing. Here might be an example.”
“Overall dimensions are 4:3, split evenly between two pictures of basically the same scene taken several years apart I believe (but with the same camera and with the same settings).”
Hucka D.:
Gene Fade is excited. You are doing so much work on “Fade to Moss” for him. He thanks you.
bb:
And there may be a Bee Line in Whitehead Crossing, Hucka. Like in Kentucky. A clue that they are related and the new observation is just as legitimate as the old is that both run through a place with *bottles*.
Hucka D.:
Yes you have found a Bee’s Line. But they’re all over the place.
—–
bb:
This could be another one.
Hucka D.:
The 3 rocks, yes. The same rock. Rock’s rocks. He understand that. Think about that. He understood.
bb:
I get to head down to WX today, Hucka D. I’ll study that Bee’s Line in more detail, perhaps take some more pictures.
Hucka D.:
You better get to work!

“Maybe Aunt Joe and Uncle Zoe beside SoSo in that collage are his (or her) *parents*. He’s the mixed up boy-girl, if so.”

“And what are *you* doing posing in that collage, Hucka?”
—–
“The alien baby is 2989, a crossing or *multiplying” (“times” or “x”) of 49 and 61.”

It’s at least 6 floors, Hucka D. And you’re in the final three so far (!)
Hucka D.:
Merk B. Coolie!
bb:
The final one, so far — “SoSo” — could be a type of culminating work, if so. It *could* be the end.
Hucka D.:
You’ve been saying that for weeks and weeks and weeks.
bb:
True, but I’m finally, finally running out of gallery space. Pretty big building!
Hucka D.:
Who’s SoSo, then[ since it’s so so important]?
bb:
Seal the Singer. But not Seal the Singer. A black child/ A black adult? Someone bald? I want to say it’s a child because this is a cartoon seal, moreso than the 2nd Life Grey Seal used in previous collages.
Hucka D.:
True[ enough].
bb:
It’s also an alien, since this is the tombstone of the Aurora, Texas alien that Firesign Theatre later poked fun of in their album Everything You Know Is Wrong.
Hucka D.:
Good to write that out.
bb:
I’m trying to guess the nature of the [local] graves of course.
Hucka D.:
Peter’s Grave. Peter Graves.
bb:
Peter SoSo.
Hucka D.:
Yup. (Hucka D. pops mouth with last “p”).
bb:
So the base photo for this one is White Rock, a projection from the much larger No Title Rock.
Hucka D.:
You got it.
bb:
The toy crew — Strang Gang — that tried to enter 4 Sticks back in January appears here, fronted by albino turtle. Another turtle, like we have Green Turtle near top of No Title Rock above it, and then a duplicate albino turtle making its way down the rock toward its larger version. The white fungus on White Rock is probably another representation of same. That’s the skull-like fungus from “Ghost Sticks”, a scary collage.
Hucka D.:
This isn’t as scary. This is acceptance.
bb:
Of death?
Hucka D.:
Yes. And a colorful afterlife.
bb:
It’s a mystery just like the SoSo grave of Pietmond was a mystery. 2 mysteries that are 1 mystery?
Hucka D.:
Appears so. SoSo so.
bb:
Stop that.
Hucka D.:
Okay.
bb:
Why are Aunt Joe and Uncle Zoe here?
Hucka D.:
They have also made peace with their evil villanous ways in the afterlife, like Darth Vader appearing to Luke Skywalker all shiny and stuff after his killing.
bb:
So they did do awful things.
Hucka D.:
Oh you bet. And to my people!
bb:
Sorry about that.
Hucka D.:
It’s okay. They all come back. Again and again. Week after week.
bb:
The albino turtle or what we are calling such might be another ghost, white in nature and all ectoplasm-y.
Hucka D.:
Yes.
bb:
The mystery of the 2989 curse is also resolved in the afterlife.
Hucka D.:
Yes. Multiplied together to get not one thing not another thing but both together. Afterlife.
bb:
And then the spinning Manchester statuette is also back, appearing one other time in Falmouth in “Fairy Branch”. It represents a body of a grave there, it seems. Seal again?
Hucka D.:
You bet.
bb:
This seems to resolve “Ghost Sticks”, it might resolve “Rock, His Story”, completing the story as it is, were.
Hucka D.:
You know the ultimate or final rock[ now].

More Collages 02
“Then the Beemen came ashore, walked past the Green Turtle, ignored the blue-red dead man floating in the bay simply because he wasn’t there to them, and proceeded to declare the rock Edward’s Stone, shortened to Edward Stone. Then a TILE City formed. The Emerald. Piglet and Pooh not included originally. Left out. Then things got out of control and Piglet and Pooh added in. Contraption removed instead. Contraption removed by Green Lego Man, who became a composite of the 2 bee figures. Because in the collages you’re working back in time. Happens quite often[ in your work].”
bb:
“Beemen” seems closely related to “2989” true.
But it all still revolves around “Rock, His Story”, the culminating Whitehead X-ing collage, as it were, as it is.
Hucka D.:
Yes. That’s the main portal[ system]. Edward Stone, this one pictured in “Beemen” if it is the true Edward Stone, and it very well may be, is just below The Emerald. You can actually see a corner of the rock, as I’m checking, in “2989”. Are the 2 beemen, then, 49 and 61? Something to think about. 2 contrasting figures, one brutish and stocky and one non-muscular and thin. You are at a crossroads, baker b. You can go thick or thin — your choice.
bb:
I don’t know what that means, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
Two paths, at right angles. 2989.
bb:
Still not…
Hucka D.:
Right and left. Up and down. Black and white. White is black and black is white. All over.
bb:
Do the [two types of] beemen like each other?
Hucka D.:
Kind of.
—–
bb:
I have a question, then, about what The Contraption is and functions as. Is it a splitter? Fission machine?
Hucka D.:
Fission and fusion both.
bb:
How is that?
Hucka D.:
It is a Wilson-Wheeler Machine, working fowards and backwards in time at once. It is a super sewing machine. Singer. We should talk about Barely Singwright when you’re ready.
bb:
Okay, but not just yet.
—–
“Green represents safety. Green represent protection. The turtle protects. Where is the cat part? Not needed to know yet.”
bb:
So this is like Jessee and Walt’s lab on Breaking Bad. Interesting.
Hucka D.:
The lab is an alchemist’s lab, not technically a chemist’s lab. The red-blue death is beyond the rock, out more in the real world. Edward Stone shelters the two individuals, busy as men bees, from all that. Until the end[ of Season 3].
bb:
Edwardston’s number is 3, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
Now if we look at that picture (“Beemen”), we can see more the process. It deals with TILE. The blue lego piece at the top gives first clue that this is the top of the TILE Waterfall, and the tile/lego is about to drop down. Falls. The only reason we do not have a type of death at the bottom of the fall or falls is The Contraption. The Contraption must be a perpetual motion machine, and it is. It works backwards and forwards in time[ as stated]. It powers the fall of TILE. The lego pieces are like the marbles that fall. Pull up a picture of Newton 09 if you wish.
