Every time I get out onto the nature trails, I am fascinated by the various kinds of bark on the many different tree species along the paths. This posting will show a few more of the bark variations along the way.
The last postings on BARK were March 13, 2022 and the first was on January 11, 2022. You might like checking those out if you have not already viewed them because they show some detail on a number of different trees in the area.
Let us start our hike together.
One of many trails through the
Lakeshore Nature Preserve.
One of these times I will take you up to the top of this hill.
There is a Native American burial ground at the top.
For me - a very meditative place.
This bark is so deeply grooved.

This is really a fascinating bark.
Bark is now long gone but the mushrooms are taking over.
The woods along the way is pretty dense.
When I saw this I thought that -
someone must have put this together,
but no,
it formed itself in this way.
Here too, the bark is gone
but now moss has taken over.
Another interesting naturally formed "creation" on a tree.
Some of the trees have this green growth.
Well, time to walk out of the nature preserve.
Until our next "bark" tour!"
Cogli proprio dei bei dettagli! Aspettiamo la prossima parte :)
ReplyDeleteBuone passeggiate!
There will be more for sure! Just returned now form another hike on the trails.
DeleteNice texture shots. Nature is so diverse and fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThat is true. Shows what we are all meant to be for a "fullness" of the Earth.
DeleteFascinating images.
ReplyDeleteThe bark "stuff" is truly very interesting.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful place to hike, for sure. I need to get over there again this summer. Are you able to join us for the Garden Bloggers Fling, June 23-26? Bring a friend!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I am to meet friends from Florida up north that weekend, will have to wait to see. Keeping it on my calendar.
DeleteMe encantan los troncos de los árboles. Muy bonito tu reportaje. Besos.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell that I too love tree trunks. So many interesting patterns in the bark. Trust me there will be more photos of the trails and trees in the weeks ahead. I try to walk 3.5 - 4 miles everyday, even during our winters and now that it is getting to be warmer - I will do 5 miles a day or even more! I think I have become addicted!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures from nature.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!

A Happy Easter to you too! Nature is pretty - always for me.
DeleteI like the bark of oaks and this hazel that grows to a large tree.

I have a Burr Oak just down the street. It has absolutely great enormous branches. One day I will post it. It is impressive. Enjoy
DeleteYour bark photos are very nice. I agree with you that bark is very interesting. There are so many different of them in the nature. Beautiful moss.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are sooooo many different textures of bark. Here in the Lakeshore Nature Preserve - a project of the University of Wisconsin - the variety is spectacular.
DeleteThank you for sharing the beautiful tree captures from your hike. One of my favorites for bark is Sycamore, and also Paperbark Maple.
ReplyDeleteThose are great. I will have to look for them in our nature preserve.
DeleteYou have really big trees! I am so fond of big trees. Young bark is of course beautiful too, but bark of old trees is perhaps most fascinating.
ReplyDeleteIn about four more postings I will have a really large tree I found on one of my hikes. No leaves at this time of the years so it is impressive just standing there!
DeleteThank you for this wonderful nature walk.
ReplyDeleteI loved the photos of the tree trunks.
Trust me, there will be more because I too love the many textures of tree bark.
DeleteOld trees with attention-grabbing moss.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
As I have mentioned a number of times to people commenting on the Blog, the trees and the bark really fascinate me. The texture and variety are most interesting. Always need to stop, pause and look for a moment so one can really see what is there!
DeleteI like also trees. Your photos are lovely.
