In our first Festival for 2013, contributors are encouraged to reflect: to look back; and, to look within. To do some navel gazing. The 'Festival of the Belly Button' requires some reflective introspection.

What have I learnt? Not enough! I still avoid photos of people, and that's something I intend to work on. But this pair of photos does illustrate a change for me. The top photo is a tree, gnawed by a beaver. It's a vertical tree, dead centre of the image, surrounded by vertical trees with a very cluttered background. The bottom photo is icicles hanging off of my house. Still lots of vertical, but now they're not dead centre. The background is less cluttered - depth of field helps. Wish I'd hid the telephone pole behind one of the icicles though.
I'm not much of an omphalopsychite.
