I am grateful and happy for the way I see things. Many of us would look at the above pic and see a stump. Other many see that it’s a home for, say, woodpeckers, assorted bugs, moss, fungi, and whatnot.Many would simply see a dead tree.
I see character. I see a face. I see Grandpa Stumpy giving hell to forest trespassers. And I believe each one of us deserves it.
The branch coming out of its mouth looks like lighting. It suggests some very colourful language from this venerable fellow.
I am so glad I see things this way. It lends an extra dimension to the world around me and for that I am grateful.

A Grumpy Stumpy, I love it!
He is quite something, isn't he?
Love the way you see things, dfLeah! And love Grumpy Stumpy.
Thanks, dfBag Lady. Good to know Stumpy is appreciated.
df Leah,
I am grateful for the way you see things, because if we take time to appreciate how others see things, it may change our own view.
And Grumpy Stumpy is pretty cool.

dfTerrie - Thanks. And I couldn't agree more. It's always good to see the world through someone else's eyes, if only for a moment.
I am so glad Grumpy is such a hit. The forest needs more like him.
Nice to know that you can see the forest for the trees.
Nice one, Hilary.
I love the way you see the world around you, Leah! There are so many interesting things in the forest -- so many characters to see, interpret, so much that many people overlook. And seeing in a different way brings a richness and a joy to life. :)
Why thank you, TL. There's so much to see in the world if only we knew how to look at it.
What a magnificent stump! The way the light is hitting the branch out of his mouth, in the smaller version it looks like smoke, from him giving the trespassers what for. In the large version I agree it looks like lightening.
Great shot Leah.
Thanks, Reb. I was so tickled to find Grandpa Stumpy I didn't mind in the least being told off.
