“Stop For Mother Nature”
This sign literally reads, “Stop for mother nature,” and it’s rather awesome. When the tree saw that the city had installed a stop sign, it thought to itself, “This is my territory, and I am reclaiming my place on this pavement.” It grew inside the metal stand rather than alongside the sign where it was supposed to be.
Because it would be difficult for the tree to develop over such a long period of time without the leaves receiving sunlight, it nearly appears as though it was done on purpose. It continues to be a mystery to me how certain things may thrive despite existing in conditions that are less than ideal.
