"Hi there!"

... or: the Tree-mendous Encounter

 

I met this friendly tree creature (maybe a relative of Treebeard or Groot; he wouldn't reveal it) on a hike in Black Forest

 

He likes to chat a bit with hikers, he said; so say Hello to him if you come across him ... but Don't Be Hasty ! : )))

 

He and I are wishing you a pleasant week ahead
