stump hat


stump hat, originally uploaded by gawdessness.

Making fashion waves in the most exclusive wooded areas in the river valley, this season - stumps in the know are sporting jaunty chapeaus.

(Spotted very close to the turn around point on our run this morning - thanks to my running partner for being so tolerant of my stopping and taking pictures every kilometre Thanks N!)

    Is this like a block head? Interesting creatures in your neck of the woods!

    It looks like a little elf left it there in his haste to get away. :)

    Did you check to see if the gnome was actually still there, hiding? I think if you look very carefully . . .

    LOL! When I first saw this, it looked to me like he's hiding in a hollow stump, with just his hat sticking out. :)

    I think there's plenty of room in that stump for a gnome whose crouched down, hiding ....
