I was out with DH on a "tool" buying spree near Spring City, TN. Saw this tree and thought it was awesome. It was sooooo big. To put it in perspective the gravel road next to it is at least 10 ft wide. Only noticed the hand after I got home and put it on the computer. DS wanted me to show him how I got the fist to photo shop on and be textured like a tree. He did not believe me that it was real until I showed him the pic on my blackberry.

Very unusual and awesome

Alfred Joyce Kilmer knew what he was talking about when he wrote the poem,"Trees." That is an awesome old tree!
Thanks for sharing your picture with us!! :thumbup:

Beautiful tree but the hand worries me. A little spooky. Must be the time of year.

I LOVE trees. I wish they could talk. =)

Oh but they can.........

Just had to share this with a couple of friends that paint and do photography. Tree is so unusual. Thanks for sharing.

The hand IS spooky!

I love the trees in the Wizard of OZ. So cute. Especially when he slapped Dorothy's hand. LOL

oh i love trees. I'm from Houston and miss trees here in Colorado. sigh. I'm missing the hand-i think. maybe i see it. i'm not good at things like that.

here's one in San Antonio at the Alamo! about 160 yrs old.
