Garden Bark.

While pottering about in the garden a while ago - removing winter debris, weeds and finding long lost kids toys - I noticed the bark of one of the few mature trees on our block.  The tree is a Chinese Elm - a semi-deciduous tree with a fine shape and interesting bark.  The patterns on the bark give rise to another of its common names - Lacebark Elm.


You can find more close up type images at Macro Monday 2 and I love Macro.

    Yes it is unusual and lovely. I guess maybe temperate barks are more colorful than the tropical ones, but i love shooting them too!

    This looks like Nature's answer to our artists' "pointillisme" - creating images by dots. Fascinating design.
