I think he is a happy spirit.
I found this tree when I went on my walk in our pasture. I must have walked past this tree dozens of times and never noticed it.
Life is going to work out perfectly.
All the right things are going to happen. All the right people are going to come, and all the wrong people are going to leave. You're going to have a beautiful home that brings you peace, and you're going to have a dynamic career that gives you purpose. You're going to wake up next to the love of your life and spill sweet words over morning coffee. You're going to have slow Sundays and wholesome holidays. Your art is going to be impactful and you're going to be recognized for your devotion. You're going to travel and see the world and you're going to encounter incredible people along the way. You're going to be seen for who you are and appreciated for all that you do.
Don't worry so much my friend, life is going to work out perfectly.

Das Gesicht eines langhaarigen Baumgeistes?

The face of a long-haired tree ghost?
I didn't print this one back in the old days: all these years later, I see that it may have merit. Four of us had hiked up to Hollyburn Mountain on Vancouver's North Shore, for a taste of winter. Robert Altman's classic film, McCabe And Mrs. Miller, was shot near here in 1970. It's also where I learned to cross-country ski.
At elevations of about 4,000 ft, these slopes are heavily forested, and one of our group, Neil, decided to climb inside a tall, split cedar - probably a Yellow Cedar, which goes by many common names (see tags) - for this photo. Was he supposed to be a troll, or some benign tree spirit? It was too cute for me at the time, but I snapped the photo anyway. Today, I kind of like it; a bit of whimsy is alright with me.

The fog was dramatic,
it floated like a soft veil,
and yet the colours were so vivid,
at first glance, it seemed surreal.
Delicate streams of light,
flowed above where we were stood,
illuminating the captivating beauty,
of the ever enchanted wood.

One of my favorite animations are the movies made by Hayao Miyazaki.
If you never seen any of his work you should check out Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle or Ponyo!
Any ways :)
The little white guy standing on my hand is a tree spirit from Princess Mononoke!
I think they look so very cute and I was very happy one came and visit me for this shot!!
Have a nice weekend!

This is a picture from The Children's Wonder Book in Colour which was given to me by my Aunt & Uncle for Christmas 1947 when I was five. I couldn't read the text but loved the pictures and as I grew older read many of the stories.
The top row shows the oak tree, the wood of which can be used to make tables; so I photographed it on an oak table made by my father about eighty years ago.
The hereios of the We're Here! group have paid a visit to the Tree Spirits group. The tree that this table is made from was cut down many years ago - but the spirit of the tree continues and I love this book and this table.
Stuck for an idea for your daily 365 shot? Join the hereios of the We're Here! group for inspiration.
Pure and simple beauty,
that all of us can view.
For nature holds its doorways,
for us to wonder through.

Today I discovered a Kodama or Tree Spirit underneath a sign for a Japanese Sake bar.
Kodama appear in Japanese folktales, but it's the director of Princess Mononoke (Hayao Miyazaki) who envisioned them as what you see above. In the film, their large, wonderful heads would rattle...

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

flickr is still terrible slow for me, I can sent my pictures only in a few groups, sorry...
giving thanks to those faceless ones
who serve and nurture us
behind the scenes
who seek no acknowledgement
and this is the sibling in Australia from friend Tteerriitt:

Thank you, Tteerriitt!
who shine their light
hearts joyously dancing
in ways no one sees…
One of the attractions on Georgia's St Simons Island is Keith Jennings carvings in Live Oak trees called Tree Spirits. This is the original carving.
“all of nature says “yes””
spring-summer-early fall, the leaves open to the light
collecting light for the tree
nourishing the trunk, the branches, me
collecting light for the roots
so when autumn and winter rains and cold comes
there is stored light in the roots
for the short days and long nights
near Thanksgiving
they begin to be like little lanterns on the tree
reflecting the light they once collected.
now they make a golden carpet
as if showing us the way
on collecting light for the journey
on going with the flow of Divine wind
on knowing when to let go (dancing merrily)
on shining brightly, surrendering to earth’s cycles
on reminding us to declutter and simplify
on emptying ourselves of all that is nonessential
on making room for the One
on going inwards
on being guided by the inner light
