Nice swirls. I saw a torso right away in the second. Then I saw the hippo after reading your caption. It’s a very interesting grain with lots of abstract possibilities.

Ah yes, I see the torso too now! It’s interesting to find out what others see in things. Unusual to find this kind of grain in our mainly (smooth) beech forest.

It’s beautiful. The detailed photo in particular looks like embroidery. Grey days are too depressing. Hope your newsletter went well!

Thanks Frogend dweller, I can only agree with you re grey days…we’re looking at a final push of cold/rain/grey then I think we’re due some sunshine. Newsletter work in progress, a nice distraction from my day job! 😉

Thanks Chloris. I’ve heard you mention the stumpery before, I guess it’s an attraction of collective tree stumps?
