The Wizard of Oz

You do need to use your imagination with this story. As we were walking along the sidewalk in the neighborhood, we came across a tree that looked like it came right out of the Wizard of Oz. When we approached it, it actually looked like a body with two legs and two arms.... we got the sense that it would come alive if we tried hard enough to get its attention. But there it stood looking back at us. But I was reminded that in the movie there was a whole forest full of them looking a lot like this- and they pretended that they were not moving, or listening. Maybe if just we stood there long enough, it would have finally reached out and grabbed us. I can only imagine what a tree like this has seen and observed over the years in this neighborhood. I kinda wish he would have shared it!
It looked like a regular old tree from this angle

But from this side.............
