Tree Spirit

While out walking one day I saw this face placed into a tree. It made me wonder, who put the face there? Why did they do this? It seems to have a kind of mysterious air about it. But what could it mean?

What do you think?

**Update** Tree spirit is no more! Sadly, he was torn down. But perhaps his spirit lives on somewhere else.

Don't YOU anthropomorphize ficus trees?

[AnthroVlog]

Not usually. Do you?

Actually, I just did a google search on "Tree Faces," and there appears to be a thriving Tree Face industry. Check out Yardiac or The Tree Faces Store.

This is interesting. I guess I should not be surprised that there is a "tree face industry." Seeing an online tree face discount service seems to take some of the mystery away. Still, why did they choose this face?

[restive123]

Well, he does looks a little hipper than the other faces I've seen.

[restive123]

Verbally.

Maybe somebody felt lonely and wanted a friend.
