"Few are altogether deaf to the preaching of pine trees. Their sermons on the mountains go to our hearts; and if people in general could be got into the woods, even for once, to hear the trees speak for themselves, all difficulties in the way of forest preservation would vanish." -- John Muir, "The National Parks and Forest Reservations," Sierra Club Bulletin, January 1896, 282-83

Bark texture i created using photographs taken of a real pine tree. Displacement map adds a real sense of depth to the bark without being too extreme. The texture tiles perfectly and has no obvious repeating details.
What a difference one week makes! We had over 24 inches (64 cm) of snow last week; after warmer temperatures, rain, fog, misty rain, etc., those many inches of snow have melted. Here is one hardy pine tree, transplanted here back in April of 2022.

I walked around my neighborhood early this morning because I haven’t been out of the house. I came across this lit tree.
All good things to come with the New Year... Thanks again to all that have commented, favorited and awarded. This has been a blast!!
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
~Joyce Kilmer,
"Trees," 1914
