Stumpery


Squirrels have their own ideas about what makes a good stumpery. "Feeding platforms, a must-have!"

This is what remains of our old falling tree problem.

Turkey-tailish fungi march up one side and down the next.

Flamboyant fungus.

I only learned about stumperies earlier this week, when a friend sent me an article about the one on Vashon Island. (Pat Riehl, the owner of that one, will be speaking at the B'ham Fern Society lecture in May.)
-----
Trying to google images of stumperies brought me to an interesting blog, the Folly Fancier, who had featured this stumpish superstructure.
I saw that FF had also written about the Lupercale grotto, another coincidence, since of course Lupercalia starts tomorrow.

And a dog nicknamed Stump just won the Westminster dog show.
