started with a flower- ended with a saw

An artistic rendering of the remains of a tree, G&V . . . Since I don't know how to count the rings determine the tree's age before it was cut down, an interesting result of the image is not presenting a sense of scale.

Hi Michael- as far as I can tell, it looks like around 90 rings, hence years. This was cut down by our power company that feared it might fall onto the main line.

I will try to attach a couple of shots, one with my boot toes still there for perspective, the other, the rest of the tree.
