The Bleeding Tree


I walk past this tree all the time.

(Yes, I do leave the house on occasion. I 'take the air' like a gentlewoman in a Jane Austen Novel. Minus the long skirt, as it makes hurdling kangaroos difficult.)

Anyway, this tree. It is unique.









The whole trunk and upper branches are covered in weeping sores.









I'm sure there is some scientific explanation...






But I know a zombie when I see one.

    " I do leave the house on occasion. I 'take the air' like a gentlewoman in a Jane Austen Novel." -- I laughed reading that. :)
