Filler - melaleuca tree, paper bark

Today is the 27 July and I am now putting in filler photos from the five days I missed in February during the saddest time in my year.

I didn't want to have any gaps in my photos for the year and only feel able now to fill in the gaps.

This is a photo of the bark of a melaleuca tree commonly known as paperbark. I just love the patterns the bark makes.

I love these patterns and textures! Cool shot! I can almost feel it!

I love bark, so much texture a bit like a patchwork.

Love the texture of the bark. It is so interesting. Good capture of it. Sorry that you went though a tough time..and that I did not know you then. I so enjoy your photos and your sense of humor!!!

Oh! how I love paperbark, great shot of it Babs.

[Karen Dex]

Beautiful paper bark. Easy to see why they use this for bark paintings.

[Joey]

Stunning, Babs

@sunraye Thanks Raye. I love taking photos of bark on trees. Just love the patterns.

@joluise I love the texture and patterns on tree bark too.

[Babs]

@mrsbaldy Me too. Every paper bark tree looks so different and the patterns are fantastic.

@eyesmile Thanks Gena. The bark on paperbark and the bark on scribbly gum are my favourite. they have such wonderful patterns.
Thanks so much for your kind words too. I did lose my sense of humour for quite a while after Zoe died. A sense of humour is so essential in life I feel and I am so glad I found mine again. (It was under the bed)!!!! Take care
