Smile on Saturday - "tree bark".

A creative edit of my capture of a section of Eucalyptus tree bark.

I just had to feature these amazing eyes one more time! Headstrong performer in the raptor display at the Billabong Sanctuary, near Townsville.

Sycamore trees normally shed large sheets of their outer bark as they age. It is common to find large areas under Sycamore trees covered with these sheets in the Fall after heavy winds and rain.

Yesterday was such a glorious day with sunny skies and warm temperatures that gave us hope that spring is coming soon. It's amazing how a bit of sunshine can change the mood of the world around us. Lots of people were out walking and genuinely happy. Birds were active and we watched a Bald Eagle soar above us a few times amid the honking of swans and ducks below. In the bush, my eye was drawn to this one tree trunk that was ablaze with color from the sun. It made the peeling bark stand out with the backlighting. With a little luck we will see more sun than rain this spring.

Also seen at the Spirits of the Sky display at Healesville Sanctuary. The Barking Owl is common across Australia but under threat in Victoria due to habitat reduction.

Barking roe deer. Ik werd luidkeels afgeblaft toen ze me in het oog kreeg.

You need to enlarge this panel to see the wonderful textures and patterns of this tree bark.

Here's the same sea lion, moments later, singing a song from "La traviata." As the tears welled up, I struggled to look through my fogged viewfinder.

Magnetic Island, Townsville, Australia

I think this is a type of banyan tree but I need to check.

Muntjac, also known as Barking Deer, are small deer of the genus Muntiacus.

it still rains off and on here and so couldn't go out to do much shooting other than capturing some butterflies that come to nearby bushes. Hence, here are two shots of deer, captured in captivity, retrieved from archives.

 

Thanks for your visit. Have a relaxing Sunday and a great week ahead.

An ancient tree gifts the world rich colours and patterns

This colorful tree bark caught my eye while walking in Eastbourne, UK. I dont know what kind of tree it is...maybe sycamore?

What a luxury that would be !

 

While I sit here at the computer with a hot water bottle strapped to my sciatica via a knotted flanno shirt, and another hottie waiting for me already in bed ( hot water bottle ), the pain is finally easing and I just want to be lulled to sleep, with no dogs barking at wallabies, no getting up and down to let the girls in and out ... in and out, all flamin' night ... just want to ease my mind of all the stuff going on lately, all the things I'm supposed to be doing but can't, all the humans who've annoyed the crap outta me lately, all the favours other people expect from me with no thought of lending me a hand,

…. all the ... all the … zzzzzz…..

 

Off to bed extra early folks, a huge thank you for all your support, with apologies I'm behind in some visits, and other visits too quick with faves and no comments, a stream of unanswered/unread Flickr mails waiting … I am so blinkin' tired..

 

no ed's..

Weeds in the wind, late afternoon, up the bank from the river bend, just down the road from town.

The light is from ther glare off a tin roof.

I could've sat there for longer the other day.

I like this large..

Die Folgen von Klimawandel und Monokulturen zeigen sich stellenweise im Harz sehr drastisch, wo - wie hier an den Hängen des Achtermanns - großflächige Waldgebiete durch Borkenkäferbefall völlig verwüstet wurden. Kein schöner Anblick und hoffentlich eine eindringliche Warnung zum Gegensteuern.

The bark of a tree in a forest.

Bark of birch on hickory board. The sliver of dark brown topside is a spruce cone-cob that an ungrateful grey squirrel lunched upon, then tossed into my yard. I am delighted that he didn't toss the portion that he consumed!

Number 4 in my Bark theme for this week. Autumn colours in tree bark Richmond Park, London, UK in 2013.

The contrast of the light and shadow on the moss and bark versus the lines and color of the slender branches with pink flowers and buds caught my eye. Found in the Kurpark in Bad Homburg.

As I turned the camera around to vertical, as I was so close, the bird turned its head to follow.

Bark Beetle Tracks

The Pileated Woodpecker is one of the largest and most striking Forest birds in North America. They are insectivores, with their main prey being carpenter ants. This female is searching under the bark in hopes of finding one of their tunnels.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENTS AND FAVES

VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

Bark painting goes back thousands of years, and this collection at the NGV Federation Square has some that are over a century old. Preservation is a key factor in survivability of this artform.

This is "Wot" the barking owl at Full Flight birds of prey in Victoria Australia. It is very curious about its surroundings and loved by the caretakers and visitors alike.
