Many mosses

How many mosses can you get in one patch of tree? No idea but this tree is going for it.

Flaky bark

Missed yesterday as I had an early appointment to get my right eye examined. Had drops added to both eyes to dilate them and then right one was also numbed so I wasn’t seeing too well for most of the day.

Back to trees and their bark for today’s photograph. Still in Riverton and Mores Reserve, but this time on the Coastal Lookout walk. It was a brighter day so less motion blur on the photographs.

This type of tree had seriously flaking bark (I wonder if that is some sort of evolutionary advantage). Lovely texture.

I’ve boosted saturation and vibrancy quite a bit. It looks all right in Lightroom and the browser but less good in Windows Explorer.

Tree bark seen on the Mores Reserve,  Coastal Loop walk.

More bark

I’m doing something wrong. Many of my other tree pictures from this walk are out of focus. I’m not sure if I need a higher speed or if I’m doing something else wrong. It was pretty dark  in those woods.

More bark from Sherwood Forest. The grey day had knocked out all the colour in this shot but Lightroom brought it back (perhaps too much?).

Amazing how much the picture changes from Lightroom to Flickr Uploader to Flickr and then to WP: maybe due to all the size changes?
