An old plant stalk?


Just a cabbage stalk. It was laying flat on the ground and from the
perspective I saw it, only part of its length was visible, giving the
illusion of it being some sort of snake lurking under the leaf - for a
second anyway. I felt a little silly afterwards. I think there must be
some sort of "it-looks-like-a-snake" reflex action inbuilt into human
instinct.
