on the east side path into the park stands this Catalpa, with an apparently jolly face in the trunk...it always seems so welcoming

I think if I walked past him every day he would seem like an old friend.

Everytime I see this guy I see more neat things to admire in him!

Could this be a transplanted "Lord Of The Rings" tree? There are so many marvelous forms and possibilities for the imagination in this tree. Nicely captured with great clarity. VV
