The tangible bark brings me peace -- the very spirit of nature seems directly accessible from even the briefest touch of a tree. The woodpecker holes are fascinating, by the way -- I've never seen so many in a single tree, and so low to the ground.

I agree that winter is a time to notice some of the beauty that gets "lost" in the shuffle and color of the summer.

I have been collecting photos of bark for a while now, older trees have so much character, and another interest is how they feed and shelter wildlife.(lists, bark, dogs, we do seem to be in sync despite our geographical disparity.) Many years ago I stayed in Woodstock with a friend for a few weeks.It was winter and I was in awe of the beauty of the surroundings. cheers, cmSue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205789828720292919.post-41670559602497058872011-01-29T23:25:39.559-05:002011-01-29T23:25:39.559-05:00When I clicked on the heading, I had thought it wa...When I clicked on the heading, I had thought it was a dog post....and I was right. :) Enjoy your bark photos.
