Bump


Funny how you can walk past something twice a day nearly every day of the year and it never occurs to you to take a photo of it and then one day you do and...cool!

It looks like part of a big ugly bird with scales and feathers. It's actually one of a number of bumps on the trunk of a tree in my street. I like how the bark seems to flow around the bump like water.

reminds me of elephant skin, maybe with a closed eye as the *bump* :)

Isn't nature just amazing ... more beautiful than anything we could design or "stage".

Lovely picture! Thanks for sharing it.

Victoria: Agree. It looks like a closed eye. :)

Jayne: Neat picture. There's definitely a water effect happening there. It reminds me of a whirlpool. :)

Hi. I enjoyed your picture of the bump on the tree and your 12 Commandments of Happiness.

Hi Victoria. Yes, it is a bit like an elephant's eye (and maybe as high...er...sorry).

Hi Small Footprints. Nature certainly is amazing and strange and beautiful. Mother Nature is quite the artist.

I have been a little neglectful of my blog reading/commenting lately, but am getting back on top!

Hi Julian. Hehe. Neat. Thanks.

Welcome Knowledge is Power. Thank you - it surprised me when I uploaded it to my computer. I wasn't expecting much of it.

And welcome Patricia. Thanks for reading and saying hello.
