I don’t think that I’d want to hang out in a forest that has gigantic fingerprints on the trees. After all, that whole “Trolls don’t like sunlight” thing could be nothing more than a myth.

Looks like a wood grain pattern surrounding a knothole. Maybe the pine pitch kills the moss in patches.

Fascinating. I wonder if moss can grow fairy rings like mushrooms.

"Nature tends to produce shapes that are organic and free form," she said. "This clearly is a geometric pattern, which, in the natural world, you hardly ever see."

For a nature photographer and art teacher, she's blind. Nature is full of geometric patterns.
