THE ROOT OF THE MATTER


The famous comedian, Tony Hancock, once said that if you stare at wallpaper for long enough you can see faces in it. Also it is not uncommon for newspapers to print pictures of donuts, pancakes, crisps and all manner of funny shaped vegetables and claim it resembles a famous person or religious icon. On a recent trip to the woods in Kent, I came across this amazing up-rooted tree. What an incredible twisted maze of roots. But as I studied this wonder of nature and looked closer, I too began to see faces appear. Can you see them too or is it just me.
