Stock: Details and Patterns

Something happened long ago to this tree, such that its main trunk is gone. The runners on the sides have since then done it proud, though.

All these trunks are of the same tree. A pleasant place to be on a hot summer's day.

At least I think that's what these pretty, papery pods are called.

Went for a walk in the woods on my little farm this afternoon.

And we expected robots . . .

This sycamore had lost its main trunk, but runners all around the stump grew tall and lush. I photographed this tree with a 12mm lens, with the result here: www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/22331765 But it took a fisheye (the 8mm Rokinon for those keeping score) to really show it off. This is an uncorrected out-of-camera JPEG.
