Friday My Town Shoot-out - Honouring Trees

This week's subject for the Friday My Town Shoot-out is Honoring Trees
- chosen by Gingerv.

I have decided to honour them by looking at their bark.


Swamp Cypress


Ash


Aspen


Paperbark Maple


Chile Pine (monkey Puzzle Tree)


Tasmanian Blue Gum


Silver Birch


Silver Birch


Chusan Palm


London Plane


Yew


Wellingtonia

Have you ever thought about the fact that no two trees in the world are identical?

  7. So glad to hear you are getting out and about. Love your approach to this topic. Can't believe how different the barks are and the Silver Birch looks like it is decked out in ribbons.

    Word verification is abled - that's you now, huh?

  10. Your photos certainly do trees honour, Scriptor. Several of these trees are new to me, which certainly adds to their interest.

  11. Amazing tree shots.

    And super wonderful that you've been out walking. I'm assuming that you have lots of flat places to walk around.

    In a couple of months you will be happily suprised at yourself - just like my dear Mum 8 years ago.

    8 years on and our dear patchwork quilter is full on, and our equally dear quilter's husband still does the maths for her. (Last year my Folks celebrated 50 years married - which would'nt have happened without Mum's double bypass in 2002).

    All this wonderfulful recovery and Springtime for you too!!

    So well deserved, sending care and healing huggles to you, Jo and all the family,

    Michelle and Zebbycat in Wgtn, NZ

  19. interesting way to present trees. loved it! my fav would be the Yew, very unusual. I like different!

  20. all your photos are great - that yew is phenomenal - to be that large it must be hundreds of years old. I had one that was only 50 years and was barely 6 inch diameter.
    glad that your health is improving.

  21. Really like your focus (pardon the pun) on bark - the paper maple is lovely.

  22. Love these pictures, especially the perspective of your last one! I love to feel all the different tree bark, and usually find that's what my eyes are drawn to as I walk through the woods.
    Thanks for your comment on my Country Roads post :o) Have a great week.

    Lots of Love from Canada
