Some detail from a decaying tree.
This is the same tree that hosted the Resinous Polypore that I posted a few weeks ago. I don’t think the fungus was responsible for the bumps

Interesting– I wonder if trees can have warts? 😀

If not the fungus, any idea what caused the bumps?

Not so far. Maybe it was the chill that morning.

I had not either although I have seen plenty of bark stripped tree surfaces. Usually it’s the insect holes that grab my attention.

Oddly, the patterns in the wood brought to mind William Blake’s paintings and drawings of strangely elongated people. If I had to make a choice, I’d rather hang this image on my wall rather than anything done by Blake.

His paintings seem quite austere and foreboding. I am not familiar with those you reference but none of the more well-known works, by me at least, appeal as wall art.

I love the simplicity of this. And monochrome suits it.

Thanks, Jane! I wasn’t sure about this having appeal, especially after peeling, but I guess it does. 🙂

I am intrigued…what would be causing those bumps?

I really don’t know. Maybe the tree wanted to slow down the insects as they traveled along the trunk. 😀
