Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a black and white day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate Sliders Sunday. Since I had so much fun taking pictures for the tree bark theme at Looking close on Friday, I decide to add one more photo on this subject. As you can see, this is a whole picture of my tree bark pencil. They are super cool as photo props but unfortunately, those are a pain in the a**ss to sharpen. The wood (honestly I don’t even know if those are made from real wood … or some kind of Chinese magic super resistant wood look alike plastic…) is super hard and I even tried to use an exacto knife and it was almost impossible to cut… However, my pencils are here to stay since they make such an awesome props.
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
FYI: because of my renovation project I have to, constantly, move our stuff from one room to another on a very short notice !! So once again, I have to apologize for not answering your comments… I will try to catch up very shortly but for the next few days I’m afraid I will be M.I.A. (missing in action) !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
The bark on a London plane tree has a distinctive gray mottled appearance that develops when it exfoliates, revealing white, brown, and creamy yellow colors. This distinctive camouflage pattern makes it easy to identify a London plane tree from a distance.
The bark of the planetree sheds because of the tree’s rapid growth. The thin bark doesn’t expand as quickly as the tree, and large flakes of bark drop off every year.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Looking close on Friday is tree bark. Tree bark brings back so many memories from my childhood. My Dad use to make any kind of tiny constructions for my sister and I to play with. We were very impressed with his skills. He had this tiny pocket knife and each time he got his hands on some old tree bark, he would make something awesome for us. I have a very vivid memory of a very, very elaborate (keep in mind he only had his tiny pocket knife to work with, no other tools or glue !) tree bark boat, it was made with several pieces and was big enough for our dolls to fit in and sail the seven seas…We played with that boat for days. So each time I see a piece of tree bark, I think about my Dad, the boat builder and the day dreamer… My Dad is like a tree, keeping our family together…giving away his bark just so his children and grandchildren can sail trough life safely and peacefully.
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
And just in case if you wonder: the tree bark in my picture is actually a wooden pencil. I could not resist buying those very cool looking but almost unusable (too hard to sharpen) tree bark pencils.

Created for "Looking Close on Friday" - TREE BARK
I was waiting to pick up my grandson and noticed the old palm trees with their interesting bark. I'm sure the neighborhood was wondering why I was taking cell phone pics.
"The Barking Owl (Ninox connivens) is a medium-sized owl found throughout Australia, although it is generally absent from the arid central regions. They can also be found in parts of New Guinea and the Moluccas.
Barking Owls usually inhabit open forests and woodlands, and can often be found along tree-lined creeks and rivers. Although fairly common throughout much of northern Australia, the Barking Owl has been affected by the clearing of woodlands in the south and is considered ‘vulnerable’ in NSW and is now endangered in Victoria.
The most commonly heard call of the Barking Owl is a double note ‘woof-woof’ which sounds quite similar to a dog’s bark. Male and female often duet with the male making the lower-pitched call and the female the higher notes."
Thank you in advance for your interest and comments on my photos. That is much appreciated.
Please view at the full size of 1600. It's also more pleasure for you.
(I hope so)
I should have been photographing my grandchildren climbing on the fallen trees but was taken with this small patch of bark detail on one of the trees. The resulting image was dry, dull & flat but returning a couple of days later after rain the colours and detail were really brought to life.
A creative edit of a section of Eucalyptus bark. Through my eyes it becomes sunset along the ridge in winter.
This is the bark of a Tibetan cherry rotated 90 degrees. Thanks to Paul Ellis for correcting my original identity of this tree
In our back garden there is an Enormous Eucalyptus Tree, we actually planted it almost thirty years ago.... It's bark is amazing, because it naturally peels, coming off in curly layers..... As you will see very colourful.
A River Otter pops up through his fishing hole in the ice and gave me a bark. With their fur wet and icy it has that greasy look but when dry it has true furry look. Arf!
The theme for week 31 is Natural Texture not software produced texture. This is the bark of a fairly old Scots Pine.
Mottled and peeling layers of bark of a huge slash pine tree trunk, with deep fissures like a jigsaw puzzle.
"As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on." - Woody Allen (American filmmaker, actor, and comedian).
The theme for Smile on Saturday for the 1st of June is "tree bark". Luckily for me, who has had a busy few weeks since the theme was announced, I needed to look no further than a great survivor in my own back garden. I have a flowering bottlebrush tree which has been buffeted by winds, struck by lightening, and been smothered by jasmine and wisteria. Yet in spite of all of this, it has survived, and after being reduced to a trunk most severely due to necessity, after a period of being dormant as it recovers, it suddenly sent forth new shoots! This is some of the bark from its trunk, upon which some moss is growing. The colour and texture from the bark truly is beautiful, and I hope that my submission for this week's theme makes you smile!
