Looking up

I went out for today’s stroll with the thought of looking around my feet as I went along (not a bad idea anyway given the likelihood of an encounter with a snake) and the hope that I might see something surprising and blip-worthy. Instead it was when I looked up. It wasn’t the shadiest spot I went to, though I imagine that once this tree might have offered the best shade around, but the branch work remains and reveals itself in its intricate glory.
