Hi, there,
When tongues in trees are tongue in cheek..nice shootin'
Freud's having a granmal siezure in his grave.
When I went to Ohio Univ, there was a small tree in the yard of a frat house that had a cut off limb that was about the exact same size of a penis. The frat guys always put a condom on the limb.
That's going to give me nightmares. Thanks, Rory.
I hope they're good ones PT ... dreams that is ... tina: w is gonna cut off funding to delta house if they keep putting condoms on their limbs and refuse to preach abstinence ... I guess even frat boys have primitive artistic urges ... okay, no6 and tina, are you saying that the tongue rory sculpted looks more donglike than tonguelike? pinkfem howdy and welcome ... nice comment ... thanks

Dear Rory,
http://www.brian-fitzgerald.net/blog/archive/000020.html
we thought you should check this out...
looking forward to see what you do with it!
very creative, nice work
why do i have a sudden desire to ....... um nevermind
Climb a tree?
Looks to me to be naughty trees. Seems to me these trees have some stories that if told would be rated X.
I love the quote.
Creepy. And uncomfortably intriquing. I love it.
My favorite is the one on the bottom. The tree appears to have a nose as well. Which means the tongue is coming out of the nose, which makes it TWICE as creepy.
who was the tongue-model for these (and where can we find him/her)? were any animals harmed? D.K.
PS, I see you've added comment verification. Let's hope it works. I swear if another huckster spammer comes up after my anonymous, I'll go away paranoid thinking they are following ME around. D.K.
Trees do indeed have tongues, but we just don't understand their language most of the time. In this instance, I think you've expressed the trees sentiments very well - raspberries!
hey jublu ... uhhuh
windy city thanks for the link ...
graeme: thanks for comin' by
rose: yeah tree hugging might not be the same after this
gugon: or climbing
pop: trees everywhere are going to be engaging in orgies of sexual activity for weeks and months with the warm weather returning ... it is shameless, it is crude, it is out of wedlock!
gugon, I like your interpretation of the bottom photo ... dk lol re: the tongue model ... no animals harmed ... except those invisible ones that are inevitably stepped on or ingested perhaps ...
peacechick ... I like your interpretation as well ... unconsciously I may have done this little shoot because of a lot of mindless clearcutting I have seen in a certain area lately ... no argument for it being therapeutic clear cutting ... so much mindless killing ... and some of the survivors are stickin' their tongues out I guess ...
Now even the trees are sticking their tongues out at us. I like (or is that lick) it. Great pictures Rory.
it seems to me that the white ash(?) in the first photo is giving us humans a big ol' raspberry while the beech(?) and the oak(?) below are waving defiant middle fingers as they all take comfort in the fact that trees as a genus have been around for hundreds of millions of years
I like the second one. It's almost like a vagina like mouth draw by Gerald Scarfe. Quite scary in a fruedian sort of way.
lg ... thanks
I take comfort in their indifference to human folly as well Maineiac
loc ... cool ... amazing how the additional of a tongue to an arboreal orifice can set the mind a workin'
glenda: I think you have a point ... their silence is a source of eloquence
Nice job, rory... The picks and "tongues in trees" piece.
"PICs" not "PICKs"! Drat!
At least I didn't see any picks or shovels!!!? :>/
You sure those are tongues?
Wow that is incredible. There are some trees here you'd love to photograph. I think they are Eucalyptus but they look like they have human skin. I call them "nudie trees." Many of their branches look like human torsos and limbs. Fascinating.
thanks pm
Kathleen ... hmmm ... might have looked more tongue like before the insertions ... context changes things I guess ... but to answer your question ... roryz not sure of anything these days! Although it was my conscious intention that it be a tongue when I made it.
Thanks Helen. Cool. Do you have pix? Definitely sounds like they would be cool to photograph. The beech trees are the most skin covered like trees around here to me ... more like elephant skin or something ...
you just gotta laugh or shake your head...
expat ... exactly ... or both at the same time! ... it's fun
