A Find

I've been vaguely looking for deer antlers for more than a year, not very optimistically. Bertie found this one today and was understandably pleased with himself. Several treats were necessary to persuade him to part with it. The thickness of the shrubs is such that only someone with a snout so close to the ground has much chance of finding one.

He then found several rabbit holes and his day was complete. All before 7.45 am.

Looking at the thing what is most striking is the absence of symmetry. It twists and it's gnarled like the bark of an oak but there's nothing balanced and 'civilised' about it. Disturbing but gratifying in equal measures.
