Allen County Residents Invited to Find Peculiar Nature Formations<\/strong>
\nPhoto Contest sponsored by City and County park departments<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(January 25, 2010) How many times have you been out in the woods or driving down the highway and spotted a strange looking tree or plant and wished you had a camera? Or you saw the clouds making an unusual picture in the sky? Now’s your chance to document these freaky formations only Mother Nature could love and possibly win a prize.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation and Allen County Parks encourage you to get out your digital cameras, put on your hiking boots, and search for peculiar nature formations. For instance, sometimes tree trunks have bizarre shapes or gourds resemble the face of a famous person. This contest is an outgrowth of an Indiana Department of Natural Resources contest for weirdest trees. Click here for examples of some weirdly shaped trees.<\/p>\n
