Ha! Love that pic. And trees in general.
They make paper for books, lots and lots of books!
Oooh, those tree faces are really freaky! I rather behold a "regular" tree, in all its natural beauty. But a very fun Friday's Top Ten!
Aw, what a cute tree. I like "They don't talk back." :)
If they are watching, then it's a good thing they don't talk
,
And in the old sections of the cemeteries they wrap their roots around our ancestors and keep them warm.
Linda G - I like trees, too.
Clarissa - Yes! I wish I would have included that :)
Becky - I love this tree. It's in our backyard :)
LR - But I wonder what they think, LOL!
Alex - VERY true!
Delores - Instant image in my mind. Written like a poet. Or a horror writer :)
Cute! Have a great weekend.
Carol, love your list. I'd say trees also provide a place to rest your back when sitting down to read. Have a great weekend.

I think you just described my husband. Oh wait, my ideal husband. ;)
I think some of them do talk back...at least the Enchanted Forest ones do. :)
I love trees! Our very large sycamore tree got struck by lightening about a month ago and I believe it is dying. We will probably have to cut it down. ):0
J.L. - You, too!
Mason - Oh, yes! Great :)
CarrieBoo - I love it! Wish I'd thought of that :)
Laura - That's true :)
Janet - Plant a new tree in its place.
I once dated a guy who admitted he liked trees more than he liked most people. Guess that's one reason we're not dating any more... ;-)
Another great list. The wizard of oz gave me insight to what trees might be thinking and doing when I'm not looking. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
T
Um, you missed one. (Hint: I have a dog.)
Pam - Sounds like a good reason to me!
Teresa - So the next time the branches rustle against your bedroom window...
LD - LOL! That makes a few I missed so far :)
I won’t look at the tree opposite in quite the same way again! ;)
Plus they're so fun to climb! My favorite trees are the trees in fellowship of the ring series!
Trees are wonderful. It would be hard for me to live in a place where there are few of them!
Linda K - Another one I missed! Loved to climb trees when I was a kid.
Golden Eagle - I like trees, but I like them spaced out, not crowded like a forest. I like to see beyond them.
Kind of sounds like my ideal man!
Okay, I guess my son shouldn't sit next to me while I'm drinking and blogging. He saw only part of the picture of the tree when he leaned in and asked, "Mommy, why does his whiney (that's what he calls it) have two holes, mine only has one.
I'm now cleaning my computer screen and keyboard. I'm glad it was just water.
Missed Periods - Someone else mentioned that. And it's true. Maybe that's what my subconscious was thinking when I wrote this!
Ciara - OMG! I never thought about it looking like anything other than a nose. But now that you mention it...I swear it IS a nose!
Gotta love kids :)
Love that photo. Trees are very useful things if you're a bird.
That tree looks confused. Must be the twisted lips.
Have a great weekend.
Shelley - Chirp :)
Medeia - LOL, I tried to straighten them before I took the shot, but it wouldn't let me.
CATachresis - Your comment got hung up in Blogger's spam filter. But I rescued you :)
Smile at the next tree you see. Maybe it will smile back!
Okay, that tree creeps me out! But generally, I am a big fan of trees. :)
Awwwww and they are ever so huggable!!!!
Take care

This is a g-r-e-a-t list, Carole!
I just taught my choir the song:
What A Wonderful World.
"I see trees of green
Red roses too... "
Talli - I thought the face would creep me out, too. But it's like seeing a friend every day when I go out.
Old Kitty - Yes!
Michelle - Cool :)
Birch trees also have eyes. I've read that Native Americans believed the soul of the tree was watching them!
Wasn't there a tree with a face in Disney's Pocahontas? "Grandmother Willow" or something? Might be a kindred spirit...
Fabulous picture, Carol!! I know trees have ears...
Raquel - I've never seen a birch tree. I'm going to find a photo online. I know Native Americans are more tied to nature.
Milo - Oh, yeah! I'd forgotten. I think it was Grandmother Willow :)
Pat - They hear and see but never speak. Tell them all your secrets :)
Ha! I love that tree. :)
I love Clarissa's reminder that they give us paper for lots of books. Yay!
I liked Clarissa's reminder, too, Shirley :)
