I don't believe in wood nymph's, but, there is an outline that maybe looks similar to a woman.

Interesting picture Arnica, now if it was the virgin Mary you would have thousands queuing up.

That's what I saw - a womanly shape but as she's in wood I thought ....... a wood nymph!

Aye, but, a little bit of devious work with a chisel and you would have them lining up to give you money, print the picture on t shirts and mugs, sell bottles of the, obviously, holy water, AND, a signed book of your poems.

That water did look crystal clear - that's a blessing!

Where's my chisel - I'm off!

I'd go with wood nymph theory; wonderful the things you can se in a tree isn't it?

Yes indeed. It would be interesting to document the shape through the year...

I might just do that - she's less than 30 minutes away!

I'll certainly go back there now that I have found her. It will be interesting to see her in her new spring outfit! Something to look forward too! :yes:

In her glistening gown? :yes:

I wonder if I could summon up a unicorn too?

I saw the photo before reading anything and she was as obvious as the nose on my face

I think most woodland spirits are pretty much benevolent providing you treat the flora and fauna with the respect it deserves.

have a good day

She was in a beautiful place where she could dip in the cool clear stream at any time she wanted before leaning against the tree to dry in the sunshine.

Nice to see the result of someone walking with their eyes wide open. She is definately a wood nymph. There you go with the spirits again.

So we are unanimous - she is a wood nymph! I'm glad we sorted that one out. :yes:

Its possible to see arms stretched upwards [ in supplication ? ]. Very definitely features of the female form. david

Hi again, found out what she is, how lovely xxxx

Shes called a Dryad.Shes a female spirit of nature who presides over woods & trees.A dryad either lives in a tree, in which case she is called a hamadryad, or close to it. The lives of the dryads are connected with that of the trees; should the tree perish, then she dies with it.
Dryads can be found in the secluded places such as oak trees. They are very shy and non-violent so they are never more than a few feet away from their individual tree. Unless they are surprised, dryads can disappear by stepping into a tree.
They are considered to be playful and adventurous with humans. May fall in love with a human man!!
