These are papier mache tree trunks, and they have been wilting all week.
I generally like the little bits of human-made beauty I find in the woods, but they usually run to sculptures of twigs and branches or rocks, or arrangements of seeds and leaves.
These trees, though. I appreciate the work that went into them. I just think I would have liked them more if I weren't comparing them so starkly to real trees that withstand the weather. I think if I encountered them indoors they would have been more imposing.
Maybe that's the point, though.

I'm not sure what I like better - the concept of fake trees in the woods, or your tag "shtetl life".
Laughing! Thanks, Magpie--I've been meaning to haul that one out for awhile, now.
