Well if this is weird, then I am part of the same weird club, @erikah :) I think that photography and being behind the lens as an observer matures our eye and also our minds. I give photography credit for making me more aware and for developing my eye in art as well.

I 'love' wood/trees/roots....I love vines and getting down into the macro world, too. I love the sky and capturing all the things we tend to walk by un-noticed on any given day.....because, in reality, it is all so miraculous that all this even exists.

It's all beautiful ;)

Wonderful post and interesting shots!
