Resemblings

Not a cross

Many things in Nature resemble other things that jog our memory. Tree branches are particularly good for resembling symbols. I often look for branches crossing to form a phi symbol, 
π. 

A group of trees (photo) forms what looks like a type of cross. A Saint Andrew’s cross it isn’t nor is it a Constantine cross. There are no cross types that I’ve found to match.

It is, however, a graphic symbol for the asterisk , * better known as the star symbol. 

Yet, my mind won’t give up that those branches are not a Christian cross variant. 

Nature wants what Nature wants.

  1. Neat that you see things in trees. I remember being a kid and seeing things in clouds.

  2. Ivy,
    Summer clouds are my favorites. Thunderheads are a the best.

  3. You've reminded me of those ink blog tests we sometimes had to do when I was in school. I was always confounded by them because all I ever saw was a blotch of ink on the paper. The teacher always tried to convince me that I should see something.
