Tree Stump

I was having a wander around the garden and took this photo of a tree stump.

The tree was removed some years ago because it was too close to the house, and I never realized until today that the shape of the stump looks quite like a butterfly. Can you see it?

[Sally Ings]

Butterfly popped into my head as soon as I saw this and before I read your narrative. Great find

[Diana]

Oh yes it sure does, fabulous capture and textures.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely shape, and yes I see the butterfly!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Casablanca]

Yes, I see it! What a gorgeous shape it is and so interesting with all those holes

[Wylie]

fascinating!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh yes ! great butterfly with textures

[Susan Wakely]

I am seeing elephant footprints although I have never actually seen an elephants footprint. Strange what the brain conjures up.

[Dione Giorgio]

Yes, I see the butterfly shape. Looks like there were a number of trees growing too close of each other.

[Kathy A]

Wow, so many textures and tones

[Suzanne]

The textures are terrific!

[Dianne]

Wonderful shapes and textures. I do see the butterfly.

A wonderful exercise of imagination, thank you!

[Kate]

Great POV to show off this stump butterfly pattern

[Pat Knowles]

That tree trunk is an underground world of its own. A whole living colony could live there!

[Jacqueline]

Such interesting patterns!

[Ingrid]

A butterfly was what I saw before I read your narrative!

[Helen Jane]

I thought of a butterfly as well, as soon as I saw this.

[Carole Sandford]

[bkb in the city]

Very cool

[Judith Johnson]

It's very abstract in design. I love it

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Yes, I see the butterfly and I also see a squid (with a few less tentacles!) or maybe an ameba. Good catch!

[Peter Dulis]

Wow

[Islandgirl]

Wow a wooden butterfly!
