The peeling bark seems celebratory, like a party favor. And the snow contributes to the festivities.
I like that! Curly ribbons adorning and celebrating the gift of beauty and life!
Shedding of our skin. 🍀🍁🌿
Great analogy! Thanks, Karen.
Isn’t this uncannily beautiful! What is it? Birch bark?
Thank you, Cindy, it’s White Birch. They are such beautiful trees.
I always enjoy seeing the bark of the Silver Birch or the Paper-bark Birch as it peels. Wonderful black and white, Eliza!
Thank you, Pete!
Nice shot! Lends itself so well to black and white.
Thank you so much, Belinda!
beautiful image Eliza ❤
Thank you, Kim. 🙂
This image makes me feel serene. It is lovely.
Thank you, Melissa. That was the aim. 🙂
I wonder why Birch Trees’ bark peels? Must look that up!
It may be because of the oils that are between the layers. When they dry out, they become like ribbons. How’s that for an educated guess? 😉
Looked it up: it allows the trees to photosynthesise better, which they do thru their bark!
Interesting, I didn’t know they did that through their bark – thanks for the info, Alice! 🙂
We have a Prunus Serrula whose red bark peels like that, it is a beautiful feature.
That must be beautiful!
You have a gift for capturing expressive images, Eliza! I hope those snowflakes skirting across the screen don’t represent the precursors of the arctic blast forecast to hit the nation tomorrow!
Thank you, Kris! Don’t you just love those little WP snowflakes? 🙂
I’ve resolved to take the weather headlines with a grain of salt. I understand that drama sells and I, for one, am not buying. ;-D
LOVE this Eliza! I am so fond of paperbark birches – they remind me of my childhood in Northern WI. I am so thrilled to have a small grove on our lake property! So pretty.
Thank you, Kathy. Birch trees in winter are so lovely, esp. with a deep blue sky above them. Makes dormancy more tolerable. 😉
A little behind with my blog reading, but I’m getting caught up. How lovely that curl of birch is!
Thank you, Laurie. It’s the time of year, I think we’re all running behind!
