Challenge 805: The mystery tree
I found this curiously wounded tree in a garden recently. It's almost as if something inside the tree was trying to get out… but what? I'll leave that up to your imagination.

High res is here.

Thank you Frank, I never could get motivated last week, so I played 'catch-up' with these.

Love Merlin, Josephine and the little green sprites all around make it. David that is nightmarishly brilliant.

It's Mother's Day here today - hence the video. Happy Mother's Day to all the mums and grandmas!

Good to see you back, Chris. Enjoy your new Mac!

2 entries this week. This one was the one I started with initially and then got sidetracked with the elephant one. Rather than deleting it, thought Id post it. It seems we were on a similar wave length Michael..human and cat - just in different forms and environments Excellent image, Michael.

Re: Challenge 805: The mystery tree
Nice work Anna and Michael

I have kept to the brief by using two elements of Steve's entry image: the gash and the eye-like effect above it .

This animated entry comes from a real olive tree (very old).
