Basic personification. This tree does all the work for us.
Susan says, “Here’s a funny photo for the day after the first day of spring. Winter is slowly loosening its grip on Portland. All the trees are budding and the hills are covered in a soft green haze. And lest we forget, the trees have eyes. Wise old tree.”
Lucia says, “What a surprise to find a face in the tree. For me, it immediately brought to mind the Ents, protectors of the forest, from Tolkien’s Middle-earth Trilogy. Now that’s a fantastic story! What’s yours? By the way, my little nephew just ask me, ‘Is that tree singing?’. The imagination of a child is a wonder to behold. I think there’s a lesson here. Think like a kid when telling stories.”
