Tree Leopard

Whilst walking through resource woods, head down focused on searching for fungi, I came upon an unusual sight, a sight that elicited a strange and quiet intense reaction.  Someone with a sense of humour has put a life sized plush toy Leopard amongst the branches of a mighty fallen Beech. Maybe it was the surprise, but for a moment I was frozen, terrified, I fought the fight or flight reflex as I sought in split second to identify the right course of action to take, before the realization that I wasn't about to be mauled kicked in. Then I laughed at my foolishness, and with relief that I wasn't going to be eaten.
