EARTH ALIENS  ... Who Needs Space Aliens?

 Earth Aliens are creatures of various sorts that have such outrageous faces and configurations that they look like they're from another planet. I'm collecting them for an upcoming project involving ... trees.

Note: I don't know all of the photographers, but will add their names as I find them. I am grateful to the ones who sign their work.
