Macro photograph of tree bark. This tree was dying and as the photography shows the insects in their destruction created textured patterns on the tree!

Macro photograph taken from a paperbark tree. This one had a lovely section of multiple colours, much like a piece of old patchwork leather. I suspect some colours are caused by mould etc. / / /

This peeling bark abstract displays nature’s canvas that when perceived tells a visual story. There appears to be an entry into a dark realm with dangling lines that have not yet formed objects. The beauty of the charcoal curtain and camel shading invite the viewer to imagine how he or she might perceive the mystery of this evocative landscape. Dark caverns await those brave enough to deal with demonic forces in this alien landscape. On the far right there appears to be a dark figure leaning on the outside wall. I wonder what the small red lights represent on the bodies of these creatures. There are other demons hiding in the dark cave so their appearance is / difficult to detect. Can you see the black beaked creature on the left that looks very ominous adding to the intrigue and mystery of this otherworldly cavern. Please view this in the large format.

“The search for food was becoming more difficult, the snow and ice lay thick on the ground making it difficult for scavenging. It was nearly nightfall and the temperature was dropping quickly. It was time to return to the cave…........” / /

Nature provides me with many materials to create my painterly abstracts. Given the myraid of imagery in bark, rocks, plants and other natural forms, sometimes I feel like the camera is my brush. Some of nature’s elements provide more hidden illustrations under the veneer of peeling park. This bark abstract is a good example. The small part of the tree that I photographed had great texture, colors and imagery to inspire your imagination. I am interested in your projections on this canvas and the more you look the more images appear. The first image I saw was a feline on the top center moving toward the right. There are usually faces like the large textured blue head on the far left and right. The large images usually pop out at me before I take the photograph and when I spend time looking at the smaller images, I see a microcosm of a village. Sally Omar’s poetic vision adds a wonderful dimension to this image. She is a gifted poet on RB and if you have not read her poetry, I highly recommend that your enjoy her eloquent words. Every tree tells a story..that is for sure / It shows me a picture and opens a door / A man on horseback is what I see / The horse in a raging fit on the tree / Not happy he saw a wolf on the lane / Afraid he might hurt him..in mental pain / The man tries to calm him but to no avail / He cannot get him to move on the trail / The horse eventually will calm down / The wolf will ignore him and walk around / The man will lovingly understand / Because the horse has a soul similar to man / Sally Omar /

750×1000mm, acrylic on canvas. This time I went completely nuts with texture paste- trowelled it on, raked into it, piped it on with an icing bag…... love that stuff! Being a Grafton Girl (home of the Jacaranda Festival) means I feel profoundly connected to these marvellous gnarly old trees.

Elephant humour Asian elephant (Baby) Amazingly, Asian elephants are more closely related to the extinct woolly mammoth than to the African elephant. The elephant’s tusks are elongated teeth (upper incisors) and tend to be smaller in Asian bull elephants than in the African. The four grinding teeth (molars) wear out and are replaced by new teeth from the back of the jaws; the elephant gets through six sets of teeth during its lifetime. Where they live India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia and Southern China / Habitat Mountains and forest What they eat Vegetation, fruit, twigs, small branches, bark and roots IUCN status Endangered ! Image was taken at ZSL Whipsnade zoological wildlife park Bedfordshire England UK

The Bateleur occurs throughout the savanna and open woodland regions of Africa south of the Sahara. In South Africa, the species once graced the skies of the Transkei, the Eastern Cape, the Karoo and the south Western Cape but sightings in these areas are no longer common. The Bateleur eagle eats carrion, reptiles, and small mammals like rats, / hedgehogs, squirrels or young hares. When attacking snakes, the bird raises its crest and spreads its wings. This, together with long, scaly legs, ensures that, should the snake strike, it will hit either feather or scales, neither of which will pass venom into the bird’s blood stream. The voice of the Bateleur eagle is quite distinctive. The most frequent consists of short repeated barks ‘kau-kau-kau’, followed by one or two long shouts of ‘koaagh’. In the wild this call is made while perched. Its scream of anger is completely different. 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In the lowveld wildlife reserves, where the Bateleur probably occurs at maximum density in an ideal habitat, it is quite numerous. Outside of protected areas, the Bateleur is vulnerable to poisoned bait. The birds have been eradicated from virtually all South African farmland due to indiscriminate attempts to control jackal.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Layers Macro of Gum Tree Bark showing the different layers.

Macro shot of the bark of a gum tree at Botanical Gardens, Melbourne, Australia. I flipped the image 90 degrees and it reminded me of the strata you see at an archeological dig … layers of different colored dirt, and in the top layer some shells, which are so often found near the surface of a dig where ancient peoples have lived. Taken with Nikon D80 1/60s f/9 ISO 400 macro 105mm on tripod. /

II continues to amaze me how much dimension can be / captured in the layers of tree bark. Using my Macro Lens, / nature has told me many stories in the form of bark, rocks, / plants, flowers and water patterns. This piece illustrates / the power of tree bark and how well it transforms into / abstracts from nature. The first image I perceived was / a woman on the far bottom left emerged in the action of / the sea. This piece contains many images that are / best interpreted by the viewer. I often associate to musical / lyrics when viewing my painterly photographs. Music is / a great inspiration to the creative process and can enhance / the power of expressive art and in this case “the rhythm / of the sea. Please view this in large format. / Drawn to the Rhythm Of The Sea / Sarah McLachlan When we wore a heart of stone, we wandered to the sea / Hoping to find some comfort there, yearning to feel free / And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night / And the smells that filled the air / And we layed us down on sandy ground. It was cold, but we didn’t care [Chorus] / Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm / Drawn into the rhythm of the sea / Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm / Drawn into the rhythm of the sea We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night / Memories stirred inside of us – the struggle and the fight / And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices / Telling us which way to go / And we cried out “Is there no escape from the words that plague me so?” And we were drawn to the rhythm / Drawn into the rhythm of the sea / Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm / Drawn into the rhythm of the sea In the still and the silent dawn another day is born / Washed up by the tireless waves, the body bent and torn / In the face of the blinding sun, you wake only to find / That heaven is a stranger place than what I’ve left behind And we are drawn to the rhythm / Drawn into the rhythm of the sea / Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm / Drawn into the rhythm of the sea And we are drawn to the rhythm / Drawn into the rhythm of the sea / Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm / Drawn into the rhythm of the sea When we wore a heart of stone, we wandered to the sea / Hoping to find some comfort there, yearning to feel free / And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night / And the smells that filled the air / And we layed us down on sandy ground.

This bark art abstract has great texture, imagery / and vibrant color to stir your imagination. What / images do you perceive in this / tree story? Please view in the large format / to view the intricate imagery. Everytime you / return to look at this piece, you will see / something else. Please view this in the large / format to appreciate the many images in / this tree. At first glance I wondered what / the grey haired woman wearing dark glasses / on the lower right is looking at? Her head is looking up to / view all the activity!! Do you see the little girl / sitting on a rock in the lower center and the man / in red leaning down above her? There are / many faces and people in this bark macro abstract.
