I was sat under one of our old oak trees at the weekend.
When I looked up I decided that it's "face" didn't look to happy!
This is a beautiful old tree and I'm fairly sure it's hollow all the way down. I must climb it one day, or get my brother to! We are lucky to have such interesting trees on our land, this old oak is slowly dieing as it's hundreds of years are drawing to a close, maybe we will be it's last custodian or maybe it will out live me yet.
Can everyone else see the face or am I just being odd?
P.S Sorry to the person who posted on this when blogger put it up too soon the other day - I seem to have lost your comment.

Yes I can see him. It reminds me of a green man. Often featured in ancient building architecture.
ReplyDeleteYeah he has that look about him. Maybe a punk version?
DeleteYes, I see the face too.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you might be able to salvage any wood from this tree, if it has to be cut down.
Hopefully it will never be cut down. We've about 9 enchant oaks on our land and I'll do what I can to make sure they live as long as possible.
DeleteOur ancestors would have seen magic in a tree like that, trees were special.
ReplyDeleteI think they still are. there's magic in something that can live so long. I wonder what it's seen in it's life time?
DeleteHe does look somewhat grumpy, then at his age he is entitled to.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be to!
DeleteDo you think that he is related to Treebeard, I am certain That your tree was an extra in Lord of The Rings. His face is much clearer in the long shot.
ReplyDeleteIf he was then I can look forward to the royalties!
Deletei'm with northsider - it looks like the green man. it is a beautiful tree....i sure do hope it lives another hundred years.
ReplyDeletethe tree is even more beautiful from a long way away. I'll do another post on him soon when the leaves have fallen.
DeleteIf it didn't come from you I'd have said it was photoshopped LOL
ReplyDeleteI don;t even know how to use photoshop so there's no chance of that!
DeleteHe's waving I see!
ReplyDeleteWaving his fist I'd say!
DeleteYes, he reminds me of somebody, but I can't recall who.
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be shouting or screaming.
DeleteKev that was me -- I wondered if I had dreamt it. I see a samurai - beautiful tree ...
ReplyDeleteAh, sorry I lost your comment and thank you for commenting again. It seems I made a mistake when I secluded this post for later in the week. I can see the samurai as well, ready to draw his sword.
Deletehow cool. sticking his tongue out! ;P and has snapped off horns a la Hell Boy
ReplyDeleteIt's left him with nearly a mohawk
DeleteKewl you have Ents :)
ReplyDeleteSee any smaller ones like Apples and such that have faces? The Ent wives are still missing.
It's been a long while since I've read those books I can tell you! I do live in the shires after all!
