From the point of view of the ground

You're looking at this fallen tree from the point of view the ground once had.

This brings to a close, for now, the bent and twisted series.

Inseparable pals

Even the young ones

Just in time for Christmas, this little tree is starting life crooked like a dog's hind leg.

Bent more than twisted

Noel's is mostly twisted

Noel's favorite tree is bent and twisted too.  It's located in El Segundo, Ca.

Twisted trunk

If you were a tree, you'd find better strength if you could grow in a spiral.  The trunk on this one seems to be doing just that.

Log jam

This was jamming up a stream in the Sierra.  When it finally breaks free, it will be a doozy.

New bent and twisted series

I have a recent interest in the odd shapes of some of the plants I come across. I plan on putting my observations into the category of bent and twisted.
