Another interesting dod of wood

This log was also washed up on the foreshore... interesting sort of a log isn't it? Great shape... some sort of tree... or is it really something rather more sinister?

What do you see in this image?

  Talking to Munzly about "dods" yesterday... apparently in his neck of the woods people would be talking about snails...

  I’ll have to stop using colloquialisms I think. A “dod of wood” would be a chunk of tree, or a log.

I wonder if it is a fire-breathing dragon? He looks a bit scorched! The Greek word for dragon is drakon and it means serpent. In ancient times what they believed to be monsters were in fact the result of finding fossil bones!!

  Now that I'd believe.
  
  I'm impressed by your knowledge of Greek; have you spent a long time learning the language?

    I have done my degree in Classics - ancient Greece and Rome. I also have a diploma in Egyptology. I have learnt a little Latin but my main passion is the Greek world and I am still trying to master ancient Greek!

Looks like an Owl with something stuck in its eye

I met a guy once who used to gather wood pieces like that. He would build them into sculptures for his garden claiming he was putting life back into something that was dead. Actually some of it was quite beautiful!

  An owl? Well yes I guess it could be.
  
  Amazing the things some people can make with odd bits... I wish I was that clever.

I think it's a giant duck - the eye gives it away, obviously. And I'm pretty cross that the weekend teaser has been won before I've even seen it, let alone entered it. Must set my alarm earlier.
