I was on my way to work yesterday morning when I saw this tree. I thought the twisted root looked interesting, and stopped to take a picture. A woman and her dog were walking in front of me, but the woman had to stop to clean up the purpose of their walk.
While the woman was bending over with a plastic bag, the dog attempted to introduce himself, to tell me he likes that tree trunk too, and he never uses that spot because he doesn't want to offend the tree.
I thought about asking the owner if I could take a picture of her dog, but it was barely a quarter past 8 in the morning on a Saturday. I figured the woman might be looking forward to going back to sleep after having taken her dog out for a walk. Or the dog owner might want to talk, not knowing that I was on my way to work and barely had enough time to be distracted to take a picture of this tree, never mind make friends with people who are only neighbors of my employer.
