Twisty

I'm always intrigued by those snags and logs that are twisted in a spiral, like hand-washed clothes wrung out and ready to hang. What giant hands wrung these out, I wonder.

An uprooted stump, long dead, on Baikie Island exposes spiral-grained roots. And comes with an extra: a lizard and a snake howling at the sky.

Looks like the central cores of the roots grew straight, but the outer layers are wrapped around them on an angle. Why?

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
