This is an Esteva root or stem as mentioned in my previous entry. The gnarly parts of this plant evoke the likeness of an assortment of odd creatures and many folks in this part of the world have used them as shadow puppets. This one reminds me of a sad dragon.
I drew it from this angle to get a better view of the eyes.
I started collecting more of these roots and stems during my morning walks to the old mill bridge.
They're really pretty amazing!
