PAPERBARK

A Paper Bark tree.
I was out listening to the natural music but now just identified another back-up singer to the usual band members. I can hear a California Sea Lion barking down on the beach.
I don`t think they like snow.
Tomorrow, more beach images so you won`t forget winter is a short time. A lovely one from what I remember of it.

Those glow like the sycamores do here. I'm always trying to capture that glow but I never seem to quite get it.

Hiya Head.

The Paperbark is almost scary. In the smaller version I can almost see faces.

Nancy P said...

FM, you're right--there are faces there. And they're staring at YOU. (Snickers and runs away.)

I have always loved white-barked trees.

Andif,
I have a huge sycamore in the yard here.
I`ll try & get it glowing.
I shouldn`t have desaturated the tree. I wanted to accentuate the blue. Isolating the green would have been next to impossible.

FM,
I remember puzzles that you had to find all the faces in the woods.

Nancy p,
The trees have such a thick soft bark that you could run into it accidentally & bounce off of it.
Now that I think of it, I like those also. Birch trees are very nice.. Some people use them as christmas trees.
I see if I can find a pic I have that show faces in some birches. Back Shortly, with it I hope.

Nancy p,
Click on the post image to see "Woodland Encounter" by Bev Doolittle.

Oh, that's nice!

Nancy p,
You did see the indians on horseback in the image, right.

Nancy P said...

:) No, but I saw the stretching cat.

I meant in the image I added. The birch trees. Check that one out again. For the two Indians on the Pinto Ponies.

Thank you for sending that, Tony. I thought you were kidding about the horses and Indians! What a wonderful piece.
