A rude sight waiting for me at breakfast...
Going slightly off topic...
I was listening to an episode of The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry (available on BBC Sounds).
They had an episode about people that cannot mentally visualise people that they know. A 40+ year old mother recounted a phone conversation with her daughter during the lockdown- the daughter mentioned that she was mentally picturing her mother- the mother didn't realise that it was actually possible to do such a thing.
It is known as aphantasia. It is estimated that it affects less than 5% of the population.

BTW The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry is worthwhile checking out if you are interested in Life, the Universe and Everything.

I too am a regular R and F listener, and heard the episode that you refer to.
I didn't realise it, but I think I must have a large degree of this condition.
It makes a lot of sense, as I've never really believed that anyone could describe a suspect to such a level of accuracy, that a photofit / artist's impression would bear any resemblance to the actual person.

Found a sad face in an onion I chopped open tonight while making curry.
And I thought the onion was supposed to make me cry, not the other way round!

I had a wee up a tree the other day and I thought it was looking at me.

There's a place near us called Abney Hall. Agatha Christie used to visit there as her brother in law owned it and she wrote a couple of stories there. But I digress. In the grounds is a tree similar to the one in your picture.
But the one at Abney has something that looks very like a booby sprouting from the trunk. And I don't mean the bird!
