What, Ann, you couldn't come up with your own caption? Were you stumped?

The latest design in Wood-pecker feeders. Comes with attractive Bird decoy inside.

Can't you see? This settles it. Althouse is a space alien. Danger! Danger!

From the stump of Dead Tree Media emerges the sprout of blogging.

This, for some reason, makes me think of Un Ballo in Maschera...very nordic...

Remember, folks: leave old stumps out on your property as they provide homes for our forest friends.

To be brutally honest that tree makes you look fat. I think you would look best in a white birch or maybe just a london plane for casual wear.

Was the original Althaus clan from the Black Forest? She appears to be completely at ease in, on, and around trees of every shape and color. Her second job may be as a forester outstanding in her field. She would enjoy a visit the Garberville, California area on her Spring trip.

How about...

Ann's Labyrinth?

Any giant tree frogs to contend with inside that tree stump?

In an Obamanian effort to attract liberal commenters, Althouse becomes tree-sitter sensation.

Martin ayon kay ...

Ann Althouse's nomination to the Supreme Court was derailed today when photos of her enjoying nature were leaked to the press. Although considered center right in her legal views, Republicans have now vowed to filibuster saying that anyone who enjoys nature must be a closet liberal.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

derailed

I like it.. but how about "threatened to chainsaw".

Wince ayon kay ...

The way Althouse is positioned, how about...

Nature's porta-potty?

There's a faux cardinal (real audio) outside right now.

This explains a lot.

You can explain a lot by the position of the wood. So to speak.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

In an unusual foray into what she would only describe as performance art Althouse agrees to a Pajamas Media stunt and interviews dying tree.

Curtiss ayon kay ...

Protesting nosy, blabbermouth out-of-towner inhabits tree stump until she gets attention from locals.

Film at eleven.

Paddy O ayon kay ...

Hop along, my little friends, up the Withywindle!
Tom's going on ahead candles for to kindle.
Down west sinks the Sun: soon you will be groping.
When the night-shadows fall, then the door will open,
Out of the window-panes light will twinkle yellow.
Fear no alder black! Heed no hoary willow!
Fear neighter root nor bough! Tom goes on before you.
Hey now! merry dol! We'll be waiting for you!

Frustrated by the ever-increasing government mandated presence of food in her fuel, law professor takes matters into her own hands and goes on the stump.

Yeah, well, ok! I suppose! Make that "in the stump". I feel like such a sap.

steve ayon kay ...

An outhouse for Althouse!

Beth ayon kay ...

You weren't traveling with anyone named Nimue, or Vivien, were you?

Triangle Man ayon kay ...

How about, "I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees." Or, are you wearing a thneed?

Jason (the commenter) ayon kay ...

In Indiana they say that if the Althouse sees her shadow on Valentine's Day, we will have two more months of winter.

Leland ayon kay ...

That's just squirrelly.

traditionalguy ayon kay ...

Is it just me, or does the head in this tree look like an Owl asking who and what is out there in her Blogger Forest?

"Here, Althouse comes out from hiding, but her evil twin Maxine, seen only by her glowing eyes in the dark of the tree, stays put for now."

Folks, what you are witnessing is a rare sight indeed. A lawyer-eating tree. nom nom nom.

Used to be when a tree died, the dryad died with it, but now there are dryad zombies. Beware.

Ann in the boat.

JohnAnnArbor ayon kay ...

TMink, I think that's a Jawa. I didn't know there were Jawas in Indiana.

So, Professor, look out for sandcrawlers, is all.

Sycamores are frequently hollow, as I previously wrote.

Now Ann can branch out into other areas. Deal with root causes. Not bark up the wrong tree. No longer go against the grain.

Cue the Sinatra, Moonlight in Vermont...

hi professor
you know your perspective changes
depending on your point of view
so i couldn t help thinking how much
you looked like an adorable termite
poking out of that tree at least you do
to me now that i m an insect
so i assembled some nice termite quotes
as follows viz

a termite walks into a bar and asks
excuse me where is the bar tender

some primal termite knocked on wood
and tasted it and found it good.
that is why your cousin may
fell through the parlor floor today
     ogden nash

a termite can do nothing to a stone but lick it

hey i did t say they were all gems
don t take any wooden nickels
your friend
