About the Image(s)
Have you ever wondered that, if your toilet ever had a small, long term leak at its base and the toilet was situated next to an outside wall, what the floor underneath the bathroom tile would look like? Well, before last week, I didn't either. Whereas I did not intentionally cause the leak to get this image, when the tile was lifted it was surprising to see the roots of an aggressive overgrown cactus tree directly outside in the garden intrude into my space. Rather than immediately panic about the costs that would evolve from this mess, I saw opportunity to show what nature was capable of. I also found that in that tight space my Pixel 4XL cell phone gave better results than my Canon. Slight post processing adjustments which included cropping and darkening of the remaining tile adhesive on the top left. So, here is the root spread - and you have been educated.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

However, when I first saw it I thought it was a centipede. These are not my favorite creatures. As the location was the base of your toilet, my thoughts then went to that old Australian trivia song "Redback on the Toilet Seat."   Posted: 06/03/2020 18:55:02
I did not think it was a centipede when I saw it, just want to point that out. ;-) It looked to me like the roots of a plant...a cactus, huh? Proof that nature wants to reclaim its space?   Posted: 06/12/2020 07:03:41
I would also consider flipping 90 degrees to show upward growth in the image?   Posted: 06/12/2020 09:37:39
