These gnarled roots seem to be very old. They have endured many seasonal changes and have real character.
To my great pleasure, I´ve found the Island of Orust in SL. In RL, I have my roots in the neighbourhood.....

This is ostensibly a technical test: evaluating a Retina II with the Rodenstock Heligon lens set after restoration, exposing a roll of Astrum Foto 200 and processing it in PMK Pyro developer. Exposure: f8.5 at 21 seconds.
I like the results.

This plant is almost 30 years old.... it started out as a very small ficus when I was learning how to create my own bonsai plant...
it's in a small rectangular and shallow bowl and the roots have grown out of the pot.... and still as healthy as ever with lots of twists and turns!!

(Hexalectris grandiflora). Jeff Davis County, Texas.
This unique orchid is, in my opinion, just as spectacular as the Lady Slippers found deep in the Pineywoods. H. grandiflora, like others of its genus, is a non-chlorophyll producing myco-heterotroph. In other words, instead of obtaining energy through photosynthesis like most plants, they obtain their energy and nutrients from mycorrhizal fungi of plant roots. The host associations are not fully understood, but there appears to be a relationship between the genus Hexalectris and various species of white oak.
H. grandiflora has been documented in scattered sites in central and west Texas including the Chisos Mountains, White Rock Escarpment and various sites in the Edwards Plateau. They are apparently rare and seldom encountered in these areas, however, and their real stronghold in the state is the Davis Mountains. Here they occur in high elevation shaded canyons with abundant oaks. They are often found growing along the driplines of large rocks. They typically begin blooming in late June to early July following the arrival of the summer monsoon and may bloom into September in wet years. Outside of Texas they are found in northern and central Mexico.
Thought wonderful flowing bulbous shapes of these roots.
Almost seem alive !
Bepton churchyard, West Sussex.
Baxter and I went for a walk this morning - through Batsford Arboretum. There are a few signs that Autumn is fast approaching!
Resembling the head of Medusa, tree roots from 2 mature cedar trees protrude in a tangled mess out of the swampy soil at Coldstream Conservation area north of London, Ontario.
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!!
