I saw this “it’s a boy” pine tree along the trail to Big Tree, the largest ponderosa pine of its kind, in LaPine State Park, Oregon. I may have walked right past this odd tree, but I noticed two teenage boys laughing loudly and pointing at it. They took multiple pictures to share with their friends. Their reaction to it was almost as funny as the tree itself! 😀

There was a similar tree that had been bent like that on purpose to mark a trail.
Oh! Interesting. 🙂
:-D
Too funny!
Yeah, it was hilarious! 😁
I wonder what caused that bend.. maybe the main trunk was bent and broke off for some reason and this branch became the leader....
Yeah, I wondered about that too. That was a significant bend!
Hahaha ...
🙂🤣
OMG! that's so funny. But this also tells me how trees bend and we see so many shapes in their truck. Thanks for sharing this Siobhan. :) See you around soon.
Thanks, Parul! Yes, that tree and others sure bend in weird ways. 🙂
