Tree Bark #3

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!"

    1. That is true. Shows what we are all meant to be for a "fullness" of the Earth.

  6. You 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!

  11. You 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.

    1. In 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!

    1. 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!
