Seeing things in the beauty of bark

The first time my eyes came to rest on the native trees of Australia, I was in awe by the sheer beauty of its shape of trunk and twisting branches,the fragrance of its leaves, the browns and greys of lifting bark, and the exposed under-belly with its different hues and texture.
In this gallery I like to share, the inspiration I drew from simply stopping and taking a closer look at the world of trees and in this case the artistry of bark.
