This root end of a drift log was shot on Paradise Point Beach on Port Orford's west shore on December 15th, 2006. (Curry County, southern Oregon Coast)
Cleaned leeks ready to be diced. Leeks are quartered and washed removing any sand or dirt. When quartering leeks do not cut the root end keeping the leek quarters together. This makes the leeks easy to rinse under the water tap.

The root-end of a fallen tree. I liked the mix of colours and textures, and got pretty muddy trying to get low enough for the angle I wanted!
' Bought this "Holiday Amaryllis" at Walmart in Hope (Home of our 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton), Arkansas on the 17th of December.
When I went to plant it it was already growing out of it's little plastic bag. I put it in it's special soil (root end down) and watered it, fully expecting it would straighten up and shoot toward the ceiling producing copious quantities of beautiful blooms in time for, ohh, maybe the Superbowl.
Well, here we are 2-1/2 weeks later and it is still about the same length and I can't get it to stand up!
Maybe "Smilin' Bob" can help!
I most often find solitary horn coral loose in clay. If I do find one still embedded in limestone, the point is usually sticking out. This one is unusual in that the point is still embedded and the root end of the coral is sticking out of the rock.
In the old days, many more logs littered the beaches and shores of both Burrard Inlet and the lower reaches of the Fraser, because they would break free from the booms that were being taken to lumber and paper mills. Some of them were quite a hazard to navigation, as they would absorb water, and then float just below the surface. These were called "deadheads." While one does still see quite booms in the river, from New Westminster all the way up to Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, a lot of the mills have closed.
This one, however, is not a boom log, it hasn't been cut, as it seems to have maintained a fair chunk of its root end; so most likely it came down in a winter storm, was washed into the inlet and, eventually, washed up on the shore in North Vancouver. It seems to have been in the water for a while, and is almost completely de-barked. I loved the red colour of the trunk, contrasted with the greys and greens of the rocks.
Chop some green onions (I used the root end) and cook with 1/4 pound of ground beef over medium heat.
1. Grab an onion (that bit’s crucial).
2. Cut onion in half, root to tip. Peel off the skin and any not-so-nice-looking layers.
3. Place one half cut-side down, and cut off tip. Leave the root end - the end with the roots - intact!
Neil cuts the Boletus, to reveal the stricking blue pigment. We are mystified by the red dot at the root end
6. Cut the onion width-wise, top to bottom, starting at the tip end.
7. Repeat until you’ve reached the root end. Discard the root and marvel at your even dice!
One of Bonnie's pictures. Important to keep the root ends even. It makes a big difference in the storing and a huge difference for processing to come later.

This is my frog again. This time on the south side of the pond in some moss and under a rock. These are also root ends of water lettuce.

Cheesy Tofu and Asparagus
RATING
PREPARATION TIME
5 mins
COOKING TIME
15 mins
AGE GROUP
8 – 10 months
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of medium silken tofu
½ tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of chopped spring onions (scallions or green onions)
Small pinch of turmeric
8 fresh asparagus spears, cooked
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, finely chopped
½ cup of grated Cheddar cheese
METHOD
1. Wash the asparagus well, hold each spear with one hand at the root end and one halfway up the stalk, and bend the stalk – this will snap off the ‘woody’ part.
2. Chop the spears into small pieces and cook in a steamer over plenty of water, or boil them gently in a small saucepan with just enough water to cover, for about 10 minutes, until soft.
3. Squeeze the tofu piece by piece over the sink, to remove about half the liquid – then put the tofu aside in a small bowl.
4. Heat the olive oil gently in a medium-sized frying pan over medium/low heat then put in the spring onions and stir/fry for about 1 minute – do not allow to burn.
5. Add the tofu and sprinkle the turmeric over it, then cook – stirring constantly – until golden brown all over.
6. Mix in the cheese, asparagus and parsley and continue cooking gently until the cheese melts, then mash everything well with a fork. (For babies who are able to chew soft lumps).
7. For a smoother texture use a stick blender.

Garlic from the yard. Easiest thing ever: in the fall, plant cloves of garlic (unpeeled, root end down) a few inches deep, mulch with straw, and pull them up in spring or let them grow until fall. I used good fresh garlic I got at the Super H Mart, the Korean superstore, and I'm now in the process of pickling them Korean-style. Oh: before I planted the garlic, I soaked the cloves for half an hour in water mixed with some shredded seaweed, but I doubt if that's necessary. I've also read that you can plant them in early spring and pull them up a few months later, so I'm going to try that now.

Two sprouted corms of a glad hybrid. Note how the roots are coming from the root end and the stem is growing from the top, unlike Ferraria crispa. These corms were also in dark storage with no particular side up. Corm on the left is about 3/4 inch wide- both are blooming size...
I took the trunk of a small tree that fell and made it beautiful. By turning the dead tree into a bright sunflower give the tree life again. the flower looks like a burst of sun rays, Without the sun there can be no life. The stem of the flower is the dead tree which I made a homemade natural glue out of corn starch glued red leaves too, covering most of the base of the trunk. There is also a line of green clovers that goes up the trunk contrasting the red leaves, I jammed a couple of old fallen lemons into the root end of the dead tree to make it look like the center pollen of the flower. Taking the leftover stems from the clovers I fanned them out across the bottom of the trunk/stem to portray grass. the artwork sits on a slop where the pedestrians and cars can see it as they pass.
Scavenger Challenge - 2. Make a photo of something upside-down (main part of the shot must be rightside-up).
a tree has fallen in the river leaving its root-ends bare to the world and making a great upside-down reflection in the clear water
