Ailsa’s Travel Theme ‘Bark’, reminded me of our walk through the beautiful Parque Forestal in Santiago Chile. So many trees and benches there, but I had never seen such a surprised tree as this one.
Some people have very weird imaginations and can’t resist defacing objects which don’t belong to them in order to share their quirky ideas with passing strangers. I’m sure there must be a name for this disorder; something like CGS…Compulsive Graffiti Syndrome.
Wishing you all a very relaxing and happy weekend.

Someone was having fun …. Issy 😎
That’s for sure. 😅
Naughty I know, but it did make me smile 🙂 Hope all’s well, Ad?
Well actually, me too. 🙂 Yes all is well. I’m just not finding very much time to blog at the moment. xx
🙂 🙂
CGS … Love it! I do wish there was a tree nearby with similar markings if, for no other reason, than to see my dog’s response. 🙂
Do you think your dog would recognize it as a face?
Interesting … He’s part hound and usually has his nose to the ground when he approaches trees. I’m certain plenty of little critters have used that hole in the trunk. Max would probably notice nothing besides their scents. He can’t see the forest for the trees. 🙂
😅
That should be against graffitti code rules to deface beautiful things in nature. I totally agree with you this is unnatural and unfair to the poor tree. I am a new blogger and am looking for followers. I’m in college in a social media class if you would follow me I would greatly appreciate it. Either way thank you for your inspirational writings. And I hope to see more of your work. 🙂
Thank you for your valued comment. I’ll certainly pop over for a visit.
Great thank you for your support!
I couldn’t help being a little bit happy seeing this! It is too bad it wasn’t in a washable paint, though. Sylvia, it’s good to see different kinds of posts. Never a Dull moment in Paradise. 😉
credo sia molto stupita ( penso sia una lei) per la sua pelle molto rovinata ( !!!!!!!!)
I think ‘she’ needs some collagen cream. 🙂
ha ha ha farebbe la fortuna di un intero negozio di prodotti di bellezza !!!!!!
That’s for sure. 😆
While it won’t kill the tree, nature should be left alone. Can you imagine if every tree had graffiti covering it.
Exactly so, Karen.
There’s one for the medical textbooks. I don’t mind graffiti so much on walls but I don’t like it so much on natural pieces. The tree does look terribly surprised. 🙂
Haha. Yes, I think so, Sue. Some graffiti is very artistic indeed. I’m trying to imagine rhe person who couldn’t resist doing this, running off cackling wildly. 😯
Generally speaking I’m not a huge fan of graffiti, but I must admit that this example did at least make me laugh. With any luck, the paint will wear off quickly. 🙂
Hopefully, Bun. I bet that tree was feeling kind of ridiculous. 😕
Ha! Thanks for the laugh, Sylvia. 😆
Thanks, Lisa. 🙂
Oh so clever Sylvia! Have a lovely weekend xxx
Thanks, Dianne. You too. 🙂 xx
Our Lady of Perpetual Surprise ~> a well done example of C.G.S.
Thanks, Nancy. 🙂
That is so cool but I guess seeing it in the darker light I might have a different feeling about it 🙂
Thanks, YC. Yes, I guess you’re right. 🙂
lol! I love it!! it’s clever 😄😄
Thanks, Andy. I think so too. 😅
😄😄
Great photo but i think there is paper enough for drawing.Please people may not used trees for creativity
Thanks for your endorsement, Marylou. I agree with you.
Fun post, Sylvia. When I read the first sentence I thought, “surprised tree?” Then the photo came up…gave me a laugh. 🙂
Thanks, Jet. Always good to have a laugh. 🙂
I’m with colonialist- but so clever- I see how they couldn’t resist!
Yes, I agree with you. Mischief will out. 🙂
A happy weekend to you too, Sylvia. And I’m sure no trees were unrepairably damaged to produce this image.
Thanks, Marion. I wonder if it will wash off? 😕
I deplore defacement. Must admit that one is highly amusing, though.
I’m with you on both counts, Col. 😅
Compulsive Graffiti Syndrome..lol
Seems to be a plague of it in some countries. 😕
Hmmm…curious….
Totally agree about CGS …though I really love your photo!
Thanks, Anna. xx
Creative…but…
Exactly so, Jill. 😕
I wonder who lives there!
You don’t want to know. Gilly. 😯
