Each week Sally sends us a photo prompt to encourage us to look at, & document, our lives in an unique way as we travel through 2013. As this weeks phrase has different meanings it can be interpreted in a number of different ways.
When I look at a length of fabric, a ball of yarn, bundles of glass, a beautifully grained piece of timber, a blank page or canvas - I see endless possibilities. When I'm faced with a bland, bare room or a patch of undeveloped or unkempt land my brain & imagination go into overdrive as I visualise the potential of what they could become.
However, when I see a storm damaged tree being felled, I tend to see just that! Oh yeah, my mind might wander to the possibility of some nice mulch for the garden if the tree crew have a grinder/shredder they use. But as a rule it's just about the tree coming down.....& a stump being left.
And so it was earlier this week when the crew arrived to remove a wattle that had become unstable in recent storms.

| I watched as they worked on it - whittling away bit by bit. |
 |
| I got excited at the potential of some garden mulch... & even helped drag over some of the branches. |
 |
| I burst into laughter as I looked out from the patio & saw what they were doing with the stump!
Apparantly I'd been nice, the coffee & the cake at smoko time passed muster, & the guys said I deserved a throne complete with foot rest. Even tree stumps have endless possibilities.
That will teach me for teasing them about the height of stumps here in
Brisbane. I've noticed there seems to be a bit of a thing about leaving taller than
normal stumps in. For some reason a lot of tree's only get taken
back to fence height & it looks exceptionally odd!
