Twisted tree

from w
I don't feel like any kind of sketching today but I did one of the twisted almond tree in our back yard using some kids pens. Why it developed like this over the years I do not know. Moss grows on the trunk and the tree looks like it's trying to bust out. Peceli planted some little plants around it this week now that the fence is done and we can tidy up a bit. We never get almonds as the parrots, cockatoos and galahs get there first, crack open the almonds and scatter the shells everywhere. Anyway the birds are pretty when they come.
