Hiding in Plain Sight!


I write occasionally, yet on many occasions, about the Spirit of the Tree.

The faces that appear within the leaves, through the leaves, or created by the patterns of the leaves, is what I call, or class as, the manifestation of the Spirit of the Tree.

He / she / it / they are always visible when looking at either photographs of trees and bushes, or actually looking at the trees and bushes themselves. Sometimes it takes a while for the faces or figures to appear, and at other times they literally leap out, they are so clear.

One of my recent posts about the Spirit of the Tree showed the clear manifestation of a dog’s face, and another Spirit image leaning on the railings. Click here to have a look at that post.

This photo, once again taken using the nifty Google Streetview thingy, actually shows the Spirit walking or floating by:

Can’t see it?

Here’s a close up:

Still no? Here’s the first image again, this time I’ve highlighted where the Spirit is:

The thing is, as soon as you notice the Spirit’s eye, the rest of his figure instantly becomes visible. A ghost-like figure caught twinkling in the sunlight as he meanders by…

Can you see any other faces in this image? The last time I posted about the Spirit, the photo was overflowing with faces! Let me know!

    I believe I see it too, Sir Aquatom, and I saw the sad dog in the previous blog….Mayhap I’m a bit tired but I can pick out a lot of faces once I started looking… Top right hand corner in the close-up, there looked to be a Roundhead soldier, wearing his helmet… … The differing shades of green are a perfect foil for faces… (I tweeted your previous blog…seemed a perfect place to say that, being as I’m tree watching… 🙂 ) Now I must away and try to sleep again… heavy thoughts make for restless nights… xPenx

      Yes the dog in the previous picture was a little sad… I think I can see the Roundhead as well, Lady P, the more you look, the more faces appear. There’s a cat in the bottom left of the close up shot…

    The dog, I made out and of course the spirit image once you’d outlined it. I’m better at clouds than trees. Anyway, my glasses are dirty right now…

      I don’t tend to see faces in clouds, Tess, but I do see shapes. I shall start to look for the Spirit of the Sky now though, as well!

    Thanks for the closeup! Not only do I see the spirit now, I just coughed up a bit of a branch.

      Did you not notice it before, LA? It jumped out at me instantly when I looked at the picture on my computer, but when I checked on my mobile device I couldn’t see it at all… they’re like that, though, these Spirits. Here one minute and gone the next.

        I first noticed it when you posted the image of it in close-up. I had to rely on your power of spirit perception to see it, Tom.

      Anything’s possible, Soma… I could see a lion in the last picture, and there’s a cat in this one (although my cat doesn’t look like Garfield to me…)

    I saw them, but they didn’t exactly leap out at me! 🙂

    I guess I wasn’t getting into the spirit! 🙂

    God Bless!

      Sometimes, they don’t reveal themselves straight away, even if they are pointed out Prenin. Sometimes, they don’t need any introduction at all!

    I see an old, bearded face above and to the right of your spirit – must be a “tree grandpa” watching over your spirit. 😉

      I think I can see something looking away, looking in the direction the Spirit is walking in, Diane… he looks quite old. A Guardian for the Spirits sounds like a grand position to be in, don’t you think?

    Tree spirit is present for a few. what is essential is invisible to the eye.

      Thanks for commenting, Aquileana… I’ve seen shapes in clouds, but never faces until recently!
      The Spirit of the Tree is invisible until spotted!
