I love a stump.


I have admitted to loving the tree below and no one has put me in a straight jacket. I'll go one step further and let's see what happens.



I love the rotting remains of a tree!


I even have it prominently displayed by the front door of my home!



I love the detail in its silvered carcass.


I use it for the desktop background on my computer.

Do normal people get excited about a tree, or a stump?

Thanks for the comments! When you live in Iowa with flat cornfields as far as the eye can see, you find beauty where you can. I'm no tree hugger either. I can cut and burn trees with the best of them. But, you have to admit my stump has character.

I like old stumps like that, I have seen a few, but way way to heavey to put in the back of my truck! I also like rocks! but again the ones I want are to heavy for the truck. I have carried rocks in my hand carry as I could not leave them behind!
