CW Poplar Glyphs

There are interesting marks on tree bark, some natural and some man-made. I call them glyphs, non-verbal pictographs which tell a story and which are unique to each tree.

Tan and Gray Fungi 2

CW Birch 15

I seem to be partial to "V" shapes even when formed by curves. The dramatic shape found in this bark pattern is supported by its rich texture and subtle coloration.

Trametes versicolor 7

Lichens

Lichens growing on a tree in Oveido, Florida, are enhanced by judicious use of filters. The delicately lacy texture is beautiful.
