Spooky trees.

Over the past few days I've been watching a lot of movies - don't ask why - but it struck me how many spooky trees there were.

There's the obvious tree of 'Reflect-the-darkness-within-your-own-soul' in Empire Strikes Back.
The tree of 'Get-the-girl-covered-in-muck-to-meet-an-evil-bloated-devil-toad' from Pan's Labyrinth.
The tree that screams 'Christopher-Walken-and-his-sharp-pointy-teeth-is-buried-under-here' fron Sleepy Hollow.
As well as the Whomping Willow, or rather 'Let's-cheer-for-the-tree-and-hope-he-splats-the-brat' from Harry 'Effin' Potter.

Such an overdose of evil greenery inspired me to go into my garden and photograph my very own 'Something-gribbly-dwells-within' tree.





But at least I'm only harbouring a little bit of spookyness:

I was even looking into the trunk on the second pic and wondering if you'd let one of your slithery friends up in there.... until i saw the last pic of course

OK, random. Though like my bike, my hair also looks black in most photos, even though it's really very, very, dark blue.

Oooooh - if I got Egg to crawl over it he might manage a passable Godzilla impression. .
He's 16" nose to tail - and that tree's only about 12" tall.

Probably because of the many comments I get whenever people see my bike (and it's not sunny, which shows it's true colour) they call it a nice 'black' bike, which were pretty much the same comments I got from friends when I first dyed my hair again...

.. and I'd done a new avatar with blue hair. Thought I'd explain why.

Oh, and someone reminded me it was a U-rated site and it was unfair of me to ruin all those kiddies lives by having "Santa isn't real" as my old sig...


... and the usual reason that I couldn't think of anything remarkably witty to put.



Um. Yeah - I think that was it.

Well I'm convinced. You certainly have a way with words

Do it and photoshop some little teny people running away as he breaths fire at them

what is that tree? very cool!!

It's a Field Maple - the leaves are very like the one on the Canadian flag - only green not red.
