This stump isn't humorous, but I continue to be fascinated by the trees that grow in a helix.

This is one of the northern maidenhair ferns just opening up, but it has sort of an insect-ish, grasping kind of look- maybe like too many praying mantises. Total contrast with the cool, soothing aspect of the fully opened ferns.

That first tree looks like it's decided to pull up roots and move to a different forest.
