Shedding

I am lucky to have several of these Madrone ( Arbutus menziesii )trees in my yard. They shed their bark in a truly amazing pattern. The scientific name for this is exfoliating.

Lovely shot and textures.

Great textures! Crepe myrtles do the same thing.

@haskar @marlboromaam Thank you so much, I understand why but it seems that it leaves the tree open to all sorts of issues.

Wow- you couldn't peel it like that on purpose if you wanted to. Cool!

Beautiful exfoliating

@olivetreeann @jgpittenger If only my skin would peel away in such an artistic manner......
