When the leaves are gone, that's the best time to appreciate the bark. I often photograph the biggest oak tree around on my winter photo hikes. I love that there is a #ThickTrunkTuesday hashtag on Mastodon for that sort of #NaturePhotography. I used Irfanview to rotate the image 90°, add a slight swirl, and set it to negative to show different details than I am used to seeing. The textures of tree bark never cease to amaze me.

Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.
These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.

This seemed fitting for #ThickTrunkTuesday
As mentioned before, I don’t often paint animals, and while I’m not as proud of the tanukis (ok one is just a statue) as of the fox, I don’t think I did too badly.^^
