Like a fish out of water...

... over half of my blips in the last week have been outside of my normal urban comfort zone, in fields, woods or village.

Once again today, in my native Lancashire, walking through a woodland clearing, I came across this curious carving. The other end of the log was just that, a log, but this creature had clearly been carved by someone.

Unclear whether the sculptor was coming back to finish the job or if this was just a casual bit of over-sized whittling, I decided to make it today's blip (indeed the only photograph I took on this rather overcast and dank Sunday).
