Trees form a smiley face along Oregon's Highway 18
David Hampton of Hampton Lumber created the design by planting a mix of Douglas fir and Larch during a reforestation of the area. Larch trees are conifers with needles that yellow and drop in autumn, and they make up the body of the face. Douglas fir makes up the eyes and mouth. The smiley face should return each fall for the next 30-50 years, until the trees are ready to be harvested for lumber.

Lumber: Slick said it's my turn with the braincell.
Porter: Square up.
I don’t know much about cleft lips and this was just a doodle, but I thought it would be a cool concept for lumber
Last week Husband did a five-day forestry course for teenagers at a local heritage center. Hands-on activities included making insect boxes to encourage pollinators and felling & milling a wild black cherry tree. The miller, who is retiring soon, told Husband to bring the boards home, as a gift. DANG these were heavy. Twelve feet long, two inches thick, random widths, green lumber. Oof.
We'll need to gather it back up and store it in a barn somewhere to dry before it can be used. Oof, again.
