Bark-ing up the wrong tree
View allAll Photos Tagged barked
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.
That must be some delicious tree bark. To be fair, I have been putting peanuts on this tree stump on and off for a while. When there aren't any nuts, Robbie (grey squirrel) just chews on the bark and occasionally takes off with a piece of it to burry in the mulch.
Have a wonderful day :)
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.
Bark beetles have killed most of the local pine trees over the last years. In the small white boxes on the ground new trees are planted.
This is the bark of a Tibetan cherry rotated 90 degrees. Thanks to Paul Ellis for correcting my original identity of this tree

Common.
Good sign: Bird activity is increasing. After being absent for the last two months, it appears the Fall-Winter-Spring birds who normally visit my woodlot have returned for their season.
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!
"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!
