Are the trees watching you?

Alive and dead trees can sometimes look like people, faces or animals.  These are the ones I have come across so far while walking around Somerset.  I will add more as I discover them.  My thanks to my friend Sue, who is exceptionally good at spotting them.  Although there is a word for rocks, which look like real or imaginary people, animals or plants (mimetoliths), there doesn't seem to be an equivalent word for trees.
