A distinct face discovered there. Nice seeing!

@Michael Skorulski: I didn't know that a tree man lived in our woods!
@Rags: Tree Beard?
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Cool face on this guy; too bad, missing an arm, he must have been injured in one of the wars.

@Viewfinder: I would love to have seen whatever made those holes in the tree!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Hey Sweety, He's a star isn't he? I'm sure I saw him on Disney....Fantastic Find and photo Betty ;)

@Craig: Thank you, Craig!
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Well done Betty, an amazing find. Makes me think also to trees in the film "Lord of rings", i agree with Rags.

I'm sure he comes alive at the stroke of midnight! You have the eye Betty, bravo!

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Well, thank you for that thought, Wolfgang! There's another thing to be afraid of at night!!! :-) Bears, and a forester down the road thinks he saw a small "big foot" one night at the bottom of our hill! Yikes! Thank you for your comment!
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
The poor amputee. He looks surprised about something.

@Michael Rawluk: He's surprised that his left arm is missing!
Observing from Local, Gibraltar
Is it scary.. or sad? Very good observation and nice sharp image.

@Observing: Surprised! I bet scary at night! Thank you!
@Peter Miller: It is, Peter... :-) I did a double take when I first noticed it!
@MJ: It's amazing... I drive up and down the street four times a day and never see what's really there!

Great find - are these woodpecker holes?

vu@granby - Gilles Martineau from Granby, Québec, Canada
BOOO...! It must be scary at night when you direct your flashlight on it.
Nice finding Betty.

@vu@granby - Gilles Martineau: Well, Gilles... I don't go near the woods at night! It's scary without the tree man!
Wendysworks from Slaterville Springs, United States
I think he is putting all his weight on one hip and the look says "...and where do you think YOU'RE going?!" Great capture.
