A Matter Of Trust

There is something very sinister about big holes in tree trunks...
would you stick your hand in it if I dared you?

I probably would though we do have snakes around here. We used to have a Muscovy duck that sat on her eggs in a hole like that until one day something got her. I placed a child's china tea set in it later for some future child to find.

It depends on how strong the dare was.

Very nice photo.

Darryl and Ruth : )

Elaine said...

Oh, no, I would absolutely not stick my hand in that hole. It does look very sinister.

Michele J said...

... uh, probably not! Nonetheless, it makes for a good photo to see who actually took up your dare and the consequences! =)

We have no snakes or anything particularly dangerous around these parts but I would still not put my hand in there. I'd send Amy the dog to scout around on my behalf however.

Gail said...

Not without a lot of inspection first. I do not want to grab a snake.

brattcat said...

Nope. I won't even dangle my arm over the side of the bed at night for fear something beneath the bed will grab me. Forget about sticking my hand into a big black hole.

I would stick my hand in there, after I first stuck my walking stick in there. In my geocaching hobby I have stuck my hand into lots of tree trunks.

diane said...

No way.

Sandra said...

No I would NOT put my hand in that hole, spiders, bugs, snakes etc come to mind right away. but i would take the photo just like you did. I got some really fantastic shots of knots on trees at the park last week. of course soon to be seen on my blog.

Clytie said...

The only thing I would stick in there would be my camera lens ... flash on!

imac said...

As long as you did it first.lol

Lois said...

Absolutely not!

Lucy the Cat said...

No, I wouldn't! Not even if you double dared me! If I did, I have no doubt the biggest, hairiest spider would crawl on me. Great photo, though. :)

No---I wouldn't want to stick my hand in that hole ---but when my sons were younger, they would have done it....

I'm sure it made a good home for some critters --maybe several...

Thanks for sharing... Glad you enjoyed your COW.
Hugs,
Betsy

Isn't there a teaching about that? There could be any number of critters in there. I sit and wait for a cat to check it out for me.

Naw, not even when I was younger !!
Around here, you would probably be inviting yourself into a groundhog den, they have HUGE teeth !
A lovely, picture, very intriguing, I'd be tempted to look inside ;)

Barb said...

Hmmm - NO!

L. D. Burgus said...

Not if it were around here, I would not. Squirrels, birds and a raccoon live in the holes of my trees.

Pam said...

Oh I don't think so, thank you very much. Beware of the unforeseen!

George said...

I think I'll just admire your wonderful photo and let someone else be brave.

Pat said...

Not on your life! I think about bees, snakes, raccoons, any number of nasty things in there!
