But . . . Is it Art?

While the dogs and I walked on the farm last week, I came upon this natural sculpture: the twisted stump of a pine tree, probably knocked down last winter and now adorned with a bit of yellow fungus.

What is it? A wingless bird? A long-nosed squirrel? An alien invader?

What something is or isn't, I suppose, is in the mind of the beholder.
