Every time I get out onto the nature trails, I am fascinated by many things and lately that has been the various kinds of bark on the many different tree species along the way. This posting will show a few more of the bark variation along the way.
The last posting on BARK was January 11, 2022. You might like checking that one out if you have not already viewed it because it shows some detail on a number of different trees in the area.
Let's get started on the hike.
As you can see, the bark on this tree has been infected.
Close up of interesting bark.
The roots with bark covering.
Some of the trees are really tall.
Some have "decorations".
This one is dead, notice the holes.
Love the swirl of this one.

It is nice to see the various kinds of bark. I love the swirl! The decorations are lovely too.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many different barks here in the Lakeshore Nature Preserve.
DeleteI have more photos that I may publish in the future. As I said, bark fascinate me.
ReplyDeleteLe cortecce raccontano molto degli alberi e della loro vita :)
ReplyDeleteUn caro saluto :)
The bark tells so much that is true. I think of the years it has lived, the storms and droughts it has experience and even the insects - bark tell us lots!
DeleteI love a post like this. I am fascinated by the bark patterns.
ReplyDeleteMe too!!!
DeleteJust for you, I will do more. I have many many photos of my hikes and the trees. along the way.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun hike! Yes, we have so many great trails and scenes here. :)
ReplyDeleteYes for sure - lots of great places to get out and hike!
DeleteBeautiful photos of the trees and the view.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed. Lots of nice "stuff" around this part of the country!
Deletecoincidentally :) I too was looking at tree bark this afternoon. In particulair the smooth dusty Aspen bark. Are it's little round circles on the bark, forming the rougher bark as in very old trees, or are they lichen? Do you have Aspen in your forest?
ReplyDeleteHere in the state of Wisconsin we have lots of Aspen, but not near my garden on Lake Michigan
DeleteI can not tell you if the circles on the trees you are talking about are lichen or not. I would have to look at them more closely. In the forest just north of me there are lots of Aspen, but I can not recall if there are any right here in this vicinity.
ReplyDeleteTu entrada me parece interesante, me encanta fotografiar los troncos de los árboles. Un beso.
ReplyDeleteAa you can see, I too love bark!!! There will be more as I hike other trails. Glad you enjoyed that posting.
DeleteI would love to be walking there!
