Back in Petworth Park again there's a chestnut tree that came down in the Great Storm in 1987. Rather than remove it the trunk has been tidied up a little and left in situ to be reclaimed by nature and enjoyed by lots of children climbing about on it. We took five minutes out of our time there to photograph the patterns and details which would otherwise have eluded us. It's so easy to miss the beauty that's right there under our snouts sometimes.
