WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?

Finally got away & went for a good ‘ole bushwack in the woods & up a ridge. You never know what cool stuff you’ll find; It’s what keeps the woods interesting to me. Found this really unique and large “burl” growing upon an old yellow birch. I’ve seen many a burl before, none with this wavy-wood pattern throughout.
