Charred

I have had another busy day today and only just got home, so a bit late posting tonight.

As you know I love taking photos of tree bark so I thought I would take some photos of the charred trees after the bushfire. They still look quite beautiful and will survive the fire very well.

Amazing colour tones and texture Babs - out of the devastation you have found interest and beauty !

Incredible to think they will survive and yes, they are still beautiful

@beryl @fbailey @hermann @ludwigsdiana @dide @pusspup @gosia @henrir @gosia @henrir @mittens @craftymeg @danette @paul10 @haskar @seattlite @carolmw @flowerfairyann @claudiet @inthecloud5 Thanks. Sorry for the group reply again, but as usual pretty much on the go at the moment. The trees do thrive after fire.

@sangwann The top left tree is a scribbly gum and the scribbles are made by the larvae of the scribbly gum moth that leaves distinctive scribbly burrowing patterns on the bark.

@happypat Yes the bottom left tree does have an interesting pattern doesn't it. If you look closely you will see that only the surface has been charred and the tree bark underneath is unharmed.

The bottom right tree looked interesting close up too. The tree sap had burnt to glass and looked like obsidian shining in the sunshine.

[Margo]

Good selection

[Call me Joe]

Wonderful collage and textures 👍💟

[Valerie Chesney]

Such different textures, beautiful...the Scribbly Gum is always my favourite.

[sarah]

So sad but yet beautiful

Very telling image Babs.

[Angela]

Gosh, such damage
