Abstract Scribbly Gum

As you know I love photos of tree bark, so I had to start the week of FoR abstracts with my favourite tree bark of all, the scribbly gum.

Thanks for your lovely comments and favs on my week of portrait selfie's from childhood. Sorry I haven't been able to reply individually to some of your comments. I am a bit short on time at the moment.

@sangwann The scribbles are made by the scribbly gum moth larvae as it bores tunnels through the bark.
