Hamadryad (365 Day 10)



I'm posting day 10 pretty late. Sorry about that. It was a busy, kinda stressful day.

I had a gig videotaping a dinner theatre show today. I'm normally an actress, but they sometimes put me behind the video camera for shows that I'm not in.

The time that we were leaving got bumped on me, and I didn't have time to take a picture before we left. So I brought my camera and tripod and hoped that I could find somewhere to take a picture. I really lucked out. Behind the venue there were some woods. I snuck down there and quickly took a few shots. I'm not 100% happy with the image, but I think I get bonus points for location and sneakiness. :)

I didn't get back from the gig until after 1 in the morning. Then I was distracted by Matt coming over. He's in the middle of moving and felt the need to procrastinate. lol So that forced me to procrastinate. Now I can finally get some sleep. Yipee!

Hamadryads are Greek mythological beings that live in trees. They are a specific species of dryad, which are a particular type of nymph. Hamadryads are born bonded to a specific tree. Some believe that hamadryads are the actual tree, while normal dryads are simply the entity, or spirit, of the tree. If the tree died, the hamadryad associated with it died as well. For that reason, dryads and the gods punished any mortals who harmed trees.
