I stumbled upon this outstanding tree;
Tall and regal; branches stretched upwardly to the sky.
Partially diseased, yet so beautiful in is simplicity.
Holes bored into its trunk, with purpose and ambition.
Crevices dancing in contrasts of darkness and light.
Segments of bark gently flaking, silently falling to their death below;
Magnificent colours and textures splendidly revealed in the spring thaw.

Lovely 🙂
It was such a gorgeous day for a walk… I love seeing all the amazing things that are exposed in spring!
I love it!
Funny…. when I saw it, I thought…. “Mari would love this!”…… xx
Nice!
So many pretty and interesting things popping up with the winter thaw. I do love all the seasons however! (except when it snows in spring… then I get a bit mad a winter…) 😉
I like the seasons too, but snow in April is definitely over staying it’s welcome.
You’re a delight ! While others merely wandered past, you stopped to admire the life of this grande tree. Years of providing shade on a hot day, or a restful spot for a tired bird had gone un-noticed until now. Not unlike all of us, blemishes and all, we all need a little love. Tree huggers unite! xo K
LOL! Sadly, it will be taken down, but isn’t it just so pretty in it’s natural state? I wish I could say that about MY morning appearance! hee hee hee…. xx
Preaching to the choir on that babe….I don’t know when it happened but eeeek.
