For a while now I've wished to offer you, dear viewer, a way to click on my blog images to see a larger view.

Pretty common functionality, wouldn't you agree?

Turns out the only way to accomplish this will be to post a 'gallery' rather that a single image, as is my usual habit. A gallery of one. Fair enough, but maybe I'll start posting 2- or 3-across since the initial images are smaller this way.

Apologies also that the enlarged image has a truly ugly white border around it, but apparently that can't be helped.

Today I've posted a gallery of three, as this seems to fit well. Recent woods walks have captured my historical fascination with beeches and birches. I'm so enthralled with the genre that I recently purchased a John Sexton on sale.

I started 'collecting' a very few years ago via Magnum. After six or so framed examples went up on the wall I called a halt. That was enough. My wife has gifted me with framed Onne van der Wal's a couple of times, and I simply had no more room. What a problem to have, no?

But John's beeches really spoke to me. And, unframed, the print was too good a deal to pass up.

So I'll break out the matting and framing tools once again, and look forward to another masterpiece on the office wall.
