Tree Spirits

Is it just me, or do you see the spirit of an Emily-Carr-esque totem lurking in this tree?  Something about this seems evocative of the matriarchal totems she represented from her long-ago journey to Kitwancool. Maybe I am just hankering to revisit our family pilgrimage to the Queen Charlotte Islands, where Steve spent much of his youth (until he was a little older than Miranda is now).  Our original journey was when Miranda was three:  next year, Aurora will be three, and Miranda will be eight (the age Steve was when he left Haida Gwaii):  could be a good time to rediscover those roots!
