A Closer Look

What a perfect day to be out and about! Sunshine, birdsong, a gentle breeze. A few people about, but not enough to break up the show Mother Nature is putting on.

At first glance you may be thinking "Why in the world would you take a picture of something like that?" Especially if you expand it to full size. Look at the peeling bark on these trees. Wild. They're obviously dying. Not quite sure why.

This is what you see when you look a little closer. Doesn't it make you think of an elephant with his trunk raised and mouth open? Or am I watching too many Disney flicks? Regardless - the patterning made by the peeling bark and weathering is so cool. I can just imagine a downy woodpecker inside. Am thinking it's a bit too close to the trail for that. Too much foot traffic. Not too much for the ol' imagination though!

Will soon be sharing some photos from our lunchtime stroll. In the meantime, have you told someone you love them today? Now would be a good time.
