The Ghost of a Tree

I just realized the title of this post parallels William Blake's 'Ghost of a Flea' (even rhymes!) -- one of my favorite images of all time.  Anyhow, this tree was caught in the process of engaging in a bit of daytime astral traveling. Notice that the astral double has no trunk -- I guess it's the tree equivalent of how, in Asia, traditionally ghosts have no feet (except for the hopping ones, like China's jiangshi... O.K., so they're not really ghosts, I know).
