A burl (American English) or bur or burr (UK English) is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds..

In some cases, burls are quite desirable; burl growth can result in wood patterns known as ‘figure’. Tree with two burls on Limberlost Trail that are quite aesthetic and are hence valued for use in the creation of unique, decorative wood products. The demand for the intrinsic art of nature manifest in wood figure produced by burls has risen dramatically over the last few years.

Banabá tree is a type of tree that grows in Laos and most of Southeast Asia like the Thailand and Malaysia. Also named: Fossil tree; Kew tree; Maiden hair tree; Folium Ginkgo. It is a small to medium-sized tree growing to 20 m tall, with smooth, flaky bark. The leaves are deciduous, oval to elliptic, 15 cm long and 7 cm broad. The flowers are produced in erect panicles 40 cm long, each beautiful flower with six white to purple petals. It is also widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in tropical areas and known as medicinal plant.
Photo taken of the Banabá tree in the rainforest on the Bolaven Plateau. I notice it's flaky bark when we were following the jungle path on the left hand side of the Sexet river towards Tad Lo waterfall facing upstream. The area surrounding it is very peaceful, scenic and no other tourists to be found. A lovely place to explore some of the lesser-known areas of the southern region of Laos.

The leaves of the Banaba and other parts are used widely by the Philippines, Taiwan, and Japan as a Tea preparation. This tea is consumed as a natural means for a variety of reasons involving the kidneys, such as dissolving kidney stones and kidney health in general. Research being conducted in Japan shows much promise for this plant and its potential uses in the medical community. Recent studies shows that banana can be used in the treatment of diabetes and as an ingredient in weight loss products ...
I know many agree with me that spring goes too fast. But I have made the most of it by spending much time in nature, enjoying it in all the nice weather we have had.
I have found and photographed many more bird species than other years, in all parts of the country.
The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major), like this female from southern Norway 2.5 months ago, is one of those I have met and photographed the most, in several parts of the country.
Now the bird migration is pretty much over, and many species have big chicks already.
I ended May yesterday with going home from a wonderful photography trip in eastern Norway, and photographing great spotted woodpecker chicks back home, in addition to lesser spotted woodpeckers (dvergspetter in Norwegian), feeding their younger chicks.

first shot taken with this "new to me" 3x4 large format camera from the 1930s. Had no idea if or how it would function. Lo and behold, it produced images!
I find beauty in tree trunks...
it almost seems like it has veins running through it

Every year, the trees in the park by the Marina are lit up, each and every one, and the lights change colors keeping time with the Christmas music playing...the trees "dance" to the music and it's a joy. These photos are from last year, my first attempt at photographing them..some shots work, some don't.....I'm hoping the city can afford to do this again this year (there's been talk of budget cuts) and I hope I can photograph them again...maybe better this time...it was so windy that night, i had trouble holding the tripod steady! anyway...since I live in a tropical clime...I love looking at Christmas pictures..regardless of the skill level! =^)
