I love finding tree roots and parts of woody plants that look like sculpture.  My boys used to talk to a tree root at the end of our alley that looked like an alligator.  Sadly the tree was burned by a downed power line and the city removed it, alligator and all.  I found another interesting root in the woods behind the Schrader Environmental Education Center at Oglebay Resort in the West Virginia mountains. Does this one strike you as a baboon, a cheetah, a lion?
