Art 'Au Naturale'

Having wandered around the woods for a while we came upon this fantastic specimen
'Chinese Red Birch'
see the beautiful bark ...
take a closer peek
who'd a thought
nature could paint

so brilliantly?

There is a lot going on in that bark. As well as being very pretty, it is that very thin layer below the bark that is the workhorse for the hugest tree.
I'm amazed at the colours. Great viewpoint.

This is simply stunning. I am amazed at how nature imitates art and art nature. The trunk looks like a piece of pottery specially treated to appear as it does. The power, majesty and height of the tree is overwhelming. what beautiful shots these are. Thank you for sharing them!

The number 300 is significant too  this being my  300th post!  whilst yesterday the 12th was my blog birthday 2 years! So what do these numbers all amount to? Can I count on them to calculate my life? Or are they just markers of time,  as illusory as my shadows? shadows behind me  light always falls to the front  illuminates now sending to  Postcards from Paradise Recuerda mi Corazon BTW this is my 49th Haiku  I'm sure this is a significant number! ;~) PS I'm really getting into this numbers thing,  apparently 7 is the perfe...
