Or even stumbling upon a sight like this. In one of the woods near us, there is a carver/artist in residence. His handiwork can be purchased to take home or you can simply enjoy the work that is permanently on display.
Like this snag.
At first look, you may not see much. But then the creatures and faces pop out as if greeting you, in this very German way, to their forest.

Very interesting carvings! :)
ReplyDeleteHow marvellous! What a magical walk in the woods it must be with all these surprises! Love it...
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely. It's always wonderful when something "pops" out at you to reward you for your looking!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment today!
I really enjoy "stump carving". It must be wonderful to happen across such nice works of art while just wandering around.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. But I know I would think it was kind of creepy if it "popped" out at me unexpectedly!!!! Trying to stay more connected!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! And I just heard a story on NPR about artists carving trees in California that had been killed by wildfires -- I think. What a wonderful way to reuse and recycle and bring art to every corner possible.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! How are you?
ReplyDeleteI love the sad face - this is all quite amazing, especially in the middle of nowhere. Fancy stumbling on that - great photos.
ReplyDeleteThey are a lovely surprise. I am constantly stumbling upon these type of oddities here.
ReplyDeleteCynthia: I'm doing well. It's been a long, strange year...but all is well. Hope all is well with you!
