Good post. One can find all sorts of animals and faces in trees. Just like you can in the clouds. But some people can't see them, not enough imagination perhaps. They miss out on a lot. http://woodsrunnersdiary.blogspot.com/
Hi Le Loup Yes, and they are featured in literature, too, as "Ents". Tolkein made them famous, but it is a very ancient tradition Shame to think what people miss out on. Denis
I wonder why the brain evolved to see faces everywhere - maybe the differences are so subtle really that the brain over compensates and finds them everywhere!
Hi Barbara. Glad you and Allen share my view of interesting trees. It's all in the way you look, or notice something, isn't it? Fun stuff is good too. Denis
Hi Stewart, Yes, it is our imagination at work. Le Loup's comment is along the same lines, noting we see faces and shapes in clouds too. No doubt some psychologist would tell us it is about children bonding with parents - facial recognition is a key to survival. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Denis

What a wonderful tree Denis, well worth a photo and a 'quick post'. We love trees in all shapes and sizes .... but you might have realized that!
