Description

"Thank goodness the plant kingdom is slow to wage war, otherwise the animals would be in trouble. Still, it is best to not stand in one spot too long." ~ Theo

I think this photo speaks for itself. Found outside a public park, I think it used to read something like this: "NO ENTRY AFTER SUNSET, VIOLATERS ARE SUBJECT TO FLA. STATUTE 810.09" HERE is the full statute if anyone is REALLY curious. I guess we know what this tree thinks about Florida state law... ;'] -----

Haha. This is sooo funny. I would have composed a little bit deferent. The protrusions look a little bit "human" like.

Now this begs the question: which came first, the convenient notch in the tree trunk for the sign to be placed, or the sign itself, which caused the tree to envelop itself around it? Anyway, great clarity, textural and light and shadow effects in this capture.

The tree finally gets it revenge for having that sign nailed to it. Just because you can't hear it scream doesn't mean it feels no pain...Chalk up one for the tree...nice find Bra~ Aloha~
