Roots. Just exposed roots.
How a tree builds its trunk neatly, straight up into the air, spreads its branches according to its species-determined pattern, and then underground twists itself into knots is just another of those everyday mysteries.

Raices de un árbol expuestas a los elementos. Como es que un árbol sabe construir su tronco verticalmente y derecho, luego añadir ramas, éstas obedeciendo una regla definida por su especie, y luego, bajo tierra, se tuerce y se hace nudos, es otro de esos misterios cotidianos.

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!
