While visiting an art group in the area for a demo I had some time to explore some nearby fields and came upon a great old tree right at the brow of a hill.  Clearly a favourite with crows, though possibly the field beyond also.  In the field beyond were a group of detectorists (of the metal variety), which made an unusual scene.  The farmer, perhaps already on alert for suspicious behaviour, called over to check me out.  Well, I was taking lots of photos of his tree from different angles.  I'm quite used to feeling like a bit of an oddball, explaining that "I'm an 'artist'; painter - of the landscape variety, and I really like your tree".
