If you look closely, you can make out shapes, even faces. One of the gnarled branches looks kind of like a demonic puppy.

You don't have to look very close for that one face!
That is seriously the world's best stump. I see an Ent face in there :)
I went back and forth on whether to keep it in color or b/w, but I thought the b/w showed the textures better.
Nope! It's a cool stump.
I see the Ent, too, now that you said it!
That looks like something from another planet. Cool pic!
Stumps always look like a good place to tell or start a story! Nice pic!
And thanks for the links!
I actually have a story waiting at one of these markets! Though I won't jinx it.
And anyone writing SF/F should give Fantastic Stories a shot. Their turnaround time is splendidly short and their pay is double the industry standard!
