Returning to my car after choir practice, noticed a small swarm of bees in the tree shading my car. They were buzzing about over my head, busily collecting pollen and ignoring me, but making me a bit nervous nevertheless! I slowly backed away until I came up short against the trunk of the tree of interest. I glanced over my shoulder and, lo and behold, I was transported to the moon! Of course, I had to whip out my phone and take a shot of this glorious barkscape before I inched around the industriously busy bees and escaped into the interior of my car.

The Bark of trees are always an interesting subject with their different colors and textures.
