Why? Because the trunk reminds me of a Crown Royal bottle and it's been way too long since I've had a crowned boiler maker. =) Shot in black and white - no conversion.
Crowned Boiler Maker = a shot glass of Crown Royal dropped in a big mug of ice cold beer.
@joysabin Thank you. Some parasite or fungus caused those on each side of that sweetgum tree. Wood carvers would pay premium for those burls. They carve some beautiful pieces from them.
The sunburst is wonderful and the tree growth worth capturing. We often walk past things without seeing them. Your careful capture of your woods shows us that there is more than just trees.
@milaniet Thank you, Milanie. I saw it for the first time today - been over a week.
