Freak Face Trees Are Multiplying

I don't want to be paranoid, but what else could I feel when I came upon THIS while strolling along in Shell Beach, CA, a few hundred miles from my street. Yes, there I was enjoying a weekend in the central coast wine region sans bebe no less, when I tuned to appreciate a quaint motel. As quick as you can say Bates, I jumped back in shock. The tree face freaks had struck. Or at least migrated to Small Beach Town USA.

So...to paraphrase a famous question: if a tree smiles on the street and there is only one person to be afraid, is it still scary?
