Goodness, that one huge, erect, gnarly thick trunk seems to be rising in excitement, as if inviting one & all to admire it, climb it, & experience all its glory. And it would probably fit into those moss covered hidden holes & orifices one often encounters on those hikes deep in the woods.<br /><br />And what spectacular mushroom heads, big & plump, glistening in the light, as if daring one to touch it, stroke it, & taste it, feel its soft & rigid state.<br /><br />Any fish or critters visible in the creek under the bridge or in the Shrieking Pits?
