Bark

Back I can't remember when (January?), I posted a picture of a tree with pealing bark in the late afternoon light. Except I'd taken the picture with my camera phone, and it just didn't do the coolness of the tree justice.  That weekend, I made a point to stop by with my camera, to give another try at capturing the amazing bark on the tree.  I think this picture captures it best.

Texture

I took this picture with my phone, and it doesn't do this tree justice. The tree has this awesome peeling bark, and the texture in the evening light was amazing! I'll have to give it another try some day with my camera.

Shedding...

Do you know what this tree is? I don't. I do love the shedding of the bark and hope it isn't indicative of disease.

Snapped in Michigan in October.

Cheers!
