Simon's Blog - Things That Look Like Other Things

What's not to love about a tree that looks like a rabbit!

It was spotted by the the holidaying Philip from Ramsgate and possibly beats a postcard and some duty frees.

Meanwhile Richard Lucas isn’t sure what his wife has been feeding the tomatoes this year...

...as she’s grown something that looks like a man.

Jean Sheldon and her husband from Sevenoaks went to a pumpkin farm at Hoo near Rochester where they spotted a swan gourd that lives up to it's name.

And Peter Wilson has grown a potato that looks like George from Rainbow.

If only it was pink!

Brian Baines in Prinsted in Sussex was looking at a poppy plant that was about 30 feet away when he realised it featured a head and hand.

He even highlighted the human bits for us.

And finally here’s an autumnal bit of fungus that Michele Dunning came across in the New Forest.

She reckons looks like an emoji.

Of course I'm far too old and out of touch to recognise such a thing, however after talking to some people here who are a bit more with it, we’re thinking it’s the Japanese Goblin she's thinking of.

I can see that!
