I spotted this this afternoon and thought in the light of the research on touch, it was quite topical.
I thought that it might be the tree equivalent of an elbow bump.
Goofy has found himself in a precarious spot.

Wishing everyone a Happy Earth Day! Let's share it wisely, do our part & work together to keep our planet bright, shiny & safe for all generations to come =)
Fungi (this one looks more like flowers) are in charge of recycling fallen trees back to nature. Circular biology...
This indigenous Virginia live oak is documented back to 1825, and certainly is older than that to have warranted mention on deeds then. Local legend has it that this is the Liberty tree to which the Liberty Point Resolves to fight for independence from Great Britain were tacked on June 20, 1775.
This was our view last weekend from Holmes with a View. The fall colors were just starting to turn.
Charm is to the right and Berlin is to the left.
Look closely - hugging a tree holding up a treehouse! One of 3 amazing treehouses at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania.
'Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life'...Hermann Hesse, 'Wandering' 1920.
Trees are fundamental to our development as they meet our needs at every level of human experience. There isn't a single tree out there, big or small, that I am not in awe of.
There's a creek near here, which flows over waterfalls and cascades, following the line of a volcanic dyke of the Jurassic age. The hillsides support a wide variety of native trees and shrubs. The creek and the upper valley's tree ferns and forest environment through which it flows combine to create a feeling of tranquility in this beautiful natural oasis.

Trees can hug trees, too.
For FlickrFriday's #HugATree theme.
Shot on today's walk in Rushcliffe Country Park. The wooded paths in this park are full of hidden delights - wooden sculptures, a maze constructed from buried tyres and this little row of pollarded trees. It's a delightful place for adults and children. If you're in the Nottingham area , do visit.
A Flickr Friday submission on the topic "Hug a tree". A large monstera plant on the right is "hugging" the gum tree on the left, all but squeezing the life out of it. Seen in our garden.
This very old, very tall sequoia (?) in Ravenna Park, Seattle, droops beautiful, bright green skirts despite its huge trunk being charred and hollowed by fire. One remnant “stool leg” is so thin it sounds like china if you knock on it lightly. I love this tree - but can only hug about 1/4 of its remaining trunk.
