Bark - bark, bark...

Shot in black and white mode. Loblolly pine bark with a piece missing where Will chased a squirrel up this tree. I think he'd have climbed up after it if he could. LOL!

Nice! I like it! While bark is what came to mind first, there is the possibility that it's not bark!

@rhoing Thank you, Thom. Oh yes, it could be scales of a dragon. =)

You caught the random pattern of the pine's bark very nicely. My pup also tries to 'climb' trees in pursuit of squirrels. I'm sure that the squirrels sit up in the trees and smile broadly down at her.

[Mags]

@joysabin Thank you. LOL! They sit up in the trees and bark at the dogs.

[Bucktree]

Excellent closeup shot. The rugged texture of the bark makes for a great abstract. Works well in b&w.
