E Gaube, CW Poplar Glyphs, digital photography, 10 x 5in (25.4 x 12.7cm), 2016, $25
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.
Other Images to View
Steel Vines 2
was very taken by the sight of a vigorous poison ivy vine twining around a road sign. The rusted metal and textured vines against the smooth gray metal sign are a compelling image. This the second image.

Across the Brook
This image is full of memories for me. The view is from the rear barn door of a property we owned and loved in Woodstock, Connecticut for 21 years.
Hydrangea quercifolia
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.

Monochromatic, but with wonderful repeating shapes.
