Winter trees: Beautiful nakedness!

Love this bark!! How gorgeous is that?

I can't get enough of this texture.  I love all the textures of nature, especially contrasting against each other. 
This is older bark of a black gum tree, I believe.  LOVE IT!

Nature Quiz! What seed lies here?

Clue: They spin as they fall to the ground. 

Clue: They're from a tree.  The tree trunk is very tall and straight. 

Clue: The flowers are beautiful orange and yellow.  The tree is in the magnolia family.

Happy Winter! 

Go forth and explore!
