Yes! I’ve got those slots (and the bits hanging off), on the side of my head Eliza 🤣❤️🙏
Sounds painful! 😉
I think its called age 🤣❤️🙏
Ah, perfect title!
Thanks, Julie! 🙂
I love birch bark and you have captured the feel of it here. 😀
Thank you, Cathy. Such a beautiful tree. 🌳
A beautiful close-up Eliza 🤍 xxx
Thank you, Xenia! 🙏🏼
Birch bark always delivers! And you captured beautifully, Eliza.
Thank you, Dale!
Interesting photo. Sometimes one needs to look at nature in a different way.
Thanks, it pays to look closely!
A new word! I know I’ve come across ‘lenticular,’ but I didn’t know ‘lenticel,’ or the purpose of them on birch trees. Your title brought this wonderful song to mind in a flash.
Thanks for the song, love and miss JB. Isn’t it cool that plants breathe in and out as we do, just a bit slower. 😉
Excellent image, Eliza. Fabulous details. Thanks for teaching me “lenticel”. 🙂
Thank you, Jane. Birch bark is so beautiful and has very prominent ‘nostrils.’ 😀
Nature is amazing. Great capture, Eliza.
Thank you, Alys!
What a beautifully informative portrait!
Thank you, Anne!
You have a unique ability to notice such details in nature!
Thank you, Hein. And your book arrived already, I’m looking forward to reading it!
inhale/exhale is just what i needed to remember right now! and the beautiful birch brought nature inside. thank you!
Glad it called to you! 🙏🏼
What a beautiful and artistic image, Eliza. So lovely.
Thank you, Monika. Isn’t it cool that plants breathe, too? 🙂
Stunning💞
Thank you, Val! 💕
You’ve introduced me to a new word/term. Excellent title and photo!
Thank you, Belinda! 🙂
Wow! A lovely close up shot.
Thank you, Rupali!
Beautiful! Oh how I miss white birches down south here! Thanks for the memory…
Thanks, Barbara. Paper birch are indeed so beautiful!
How I love the pattern and the peeling.
Thank you, Laurie. Birch has such lovely bark.
Fascinating and beautiful. 🙂
Thank you, Robin!
Lovely texture! I love the peeling, along with the drifts of muted color!
Thank you, Tina!
That would make a great watercolor.
Thanks, I’m sure you could do a wonderful job of it! 👍🏼
Lenticels for respiration, lentils for soup.
🙂
good fire starter
True!
Praying for my Birch and Pines this weekend.
🤞🏼🤞🏼
I do miss white birches.
They are so picturesque!
Yes. And their buds in the spring and their new leaves. Against that white bark. I remember cutting huge birches for firewood with my brother-in-law in the light of a full moon. That’s a visual that you don’t forget !
Birch trees are my favourites. I can see a handful from where I am sitting in my living room. The leaves are mostly yellow now.
Lots of birch where you live, I surmise. They look so pretty against the fir trees. 🤩
Oh how I love birch trees! Reminds me of our family cottage. Well done!
Thank you, Pam!
Very cool! It looks like an art piece.
Thank you, Kris!
I’ve always loved birch bark curls, great to see your image of them. I didn’t know they were called lenticels,
Thanks, Tom. Such a beautiful tree year round. 🌳
And now I’ve learned what a lenticel is, thanks to your title.
