thanks for the comments folks
I treat this plant like all I treat all others benign neglect - I am well aware of my abilities or lack thereof
you have heard of green/brown thumb
I have a stone thumb - I could kill off a Japanese garden

even those who might not be supporting "life" now or in the past, provide enjoyment
I have been told that this log was thrown out years ago by the elephants at the Topeka Zoological Park from their enclosure. The Zoo moved it and created the area where it is now. It makes for great seating and other activities for the kids during informative interactions with the keepers.
the Zoo also utilizes other "remains" for bedding, scratching posts, "enrichment" and even "seats" throughout the zoo.

I found this interesting pattern in my back yard (I hope it is ok to post here), the hedge has a southern exposure
is it dead??
is it a retraction of chlorophyll?? Is that possible???

a series of three, I have always liked these types of trees which have curling bark
what a difference your point of view makes. The first photo is clearly taken in an "artificial scene" with the metal work behind the trees
the other two are actually the same trees but I shifted position to present a more natural background and I could lie and say it was taken in a wilderness area
