Remember the scary trees in the Wizard of Oz, or the Whomping Willow in Harry Potter? It's not just the fear of wild creatures that makes the woods spooky, and raises the hair on the back of your neck. It 's the moss, the trees and the moving shadows. It's the quiet or worse the unknown noises. Being lost in the woods at night is a terrifying experience. One you never forget.
A walk in the woods during the day looking for wildflowers is a totally different thing. It was on such a walk that I found this tree. In broad daylight this gnarled tree looks pretty scary! Just imagine what kind of a monster this thing would turn into in the dark. I'm not just sure what it looks like to me, but it definitely has a presence. Perhaps it needs a name.
