Tree Bark

I just love the patterns in tree bark. What do you see in this image. I see maybe a friendly ghost or a sulphur crested cockatoo flapping his wing.

Nice spotting. Very interesting patterns in the bark.

I see a goat on it's hind legs - even its horns are there lol. Love it.

this is fantastic, so many of our eucalypts have awesome bark and at this time of year as the shedding gets going it's fascinating

I was not barking up the wrong tree when I immediately thought it was you ! Super patterns in this bark !

When you look at the colours - there is so much contrast! Blues and browns!

Good to see that so many of you have vivid imaginations just like me.

You will have noticed the dark areas on the bark too and that is caused by a previous bushfire. As you can see, the tree has survived though and it doesn't take long for the fire damaged trees to come back to life.
