Congratulations CharliePrice on this SOTD!
Beautiful spotting... Congrats....
Lori ..it was just a medium sized branch roughly the length of your arm and about 40mm in diam., dead and dry .. not really sure what type of branch it was , as Latrobe has many different types of tree's and the ID on them is not my strong point.the branch was just on the ground amongst leaf litter.
WOW!!! thankyou so much everyone , i am so very happy having SOTD and that so many of you have dropped by with such wonderful messages ..thankyou so much :)
