A Photo A Week Challenge: Wood

                                                  A Photo A Week Challenge: Wood
A five minute stroll around my front patio area supplied this variety of wooden experiences.  I especially like the scars in the green wood of the palm tree.  It looks like someone has used the tree for their canvas.  Cee says the scar in the first tree (and its closeup in my last photo) looks like a tree itself.  I hadn’t noticed this, but she is right!

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      One picture I took and magnified showed the antique retablo box I’d photographed was infested by woodworms! The crevices were totally packed with eggs. Ugh. I didn’t post the pic.

      Would you believe I didn’t notice that? But you are right! I loved the scars on the palm tree…It looked like someone has been leaving messages in some unknown language. I noticed on my bigger palms that when the man climbed down from the tree, at the bottom, he would chop the tree with the blade of his cutter and leave the blade there in the tree while he went to get a drink of water or to have lunch. I was irate, thinking he was ruining the aesthetics of my tree, but seeing this makes me want to find that tree and see how the scar looks now. It is probably 20 feet above the ground by now! I also just realized I called my palm trees bamboo trees!!! Gotta change that. Always love your comments.
