Invasive Heart
I have spent some considerable time lately on a Buckthorn eradication effort on my property. Buckthorn is a tree species originally introduced as an ornamental (some 40 years ago) which is now widely considered an invasive species in the midwest. It is a hardwood with interesting grain and color. I found this natural heart shape in one of the cut stumps - it is about 3 inches in diameter.
Beauty in all things in nature - even an invasive species.
