Ivy monster

This looks even more like some sort of being emerging from the soil and clambering up the tree.

A very disturbing root (or something) I am seeing all kinds of shapes.

[Bep]

It's a monster indeed. Well captured.

Great roots the poor tree does look as if it is being destroyed by a monster

[Diane]

At first glance, it looks like an alligator!

[Nova]

I think an alien force is coming to consume your tree! Great capture! :)

[Linda]

so interesting... great shot and different. Watch that tree so that it does not clamber to you...lol
