The tree sculpture is called Friends of the Forest or at least that's what the plaque reads. And I'm thinking that with friends like these the trees might want to consider finding new friends. What kind of friend goes around carving huge chunks off of you and then invites parasites to live in the open wounds? Apparently the ones that carry around chainsaws and chisels.

One of the dozen or so tree carvings that used to be found around town. The trees were all victims of dutch elm disease and a good many more were cut down. Since then some of the sculptures have succumbed to rot and a few were vandalized and removed. I think only 3 or 4 of them remain.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.
