Whatever could have caused this?
This is a solid rock with deep crevices in it,
perhaps carved from water runoff over the years?
My husband and granddaughter say
dinosaur print!
I think it's Big Foot !
Crazily enough, Google Earth used to report Big Foot sightings
and someone reported one right in our valley.
Personally, I think it was our hairy construction worker friend
scratching his back on a tree in the dark. LOL
Then, what's this?
A opossum paw print, perfectly made in the moss?
What a shaggy tree-
one of our many shag bark hickory trees.
I wonder why the bark does this?
How about this tree root with rocks wedged inside.
Beautiful patterns.
Last but not least --
I really want to know what these two plants are.
It grows everywhere, even though snow,
so I am wondering if it would be a potential food source?
Any guesses?
The things you can find during a walk in the woods!
I'm not good at identifying plants, even if I have a picture to look at.
ReplyDeleteYou might be able to identify it through google.
Good luck and have a wonderful evening. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us!
I vote dinosaur print! Love that shaggy tree too! No help here on the plants either.
ReplyDeleteI think termites ate the cuts into the wood in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's a rock. That's what is so strange about it.
DeleteI bet if you posted that picture in a geology forum some one could tell you real quick what did that. It may well be a fossil though. You've got plenty of them in Missouri.
DeleteThat rock would be sitting in my garden if I saw it! Along with the rocks embedded in the roots. I know of a rock like it alongside a creek bed but it's too big to move. I love oddities like that in my garden. I think that bigger plant is some kind of sorrel.
ReplyDeleteIf I saw that rock and it was movable it would be sitting in my flower garden ~ along with the rocks in the roots. I love those oddiites of nature. I know of a rock like that alongside a creek bed but it's way to big to move. I think the larger of your mystery plant is some kind of sorrel.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds .. they go along with things that go bump in the night ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your findings...perhaps each an inspiration for a quilt someday...you rock my sweet
