Love the texture of the tree, and the blue sky is just beautiful!
they are such interesting and beautiful trees – thanks for stopping by Holly!
Excellent texture on that trunk! and nicely offset by the blue sky.
thank you… they sure do have cool bark. I find the grey, cloudy skies although may reveal more detail just look flat – always nice to have the blue to make it pop.
I like this one a lot as well – the contrast of the white against the sky and also the texture of the tree.
thank you – they are such lovely trees.
I’ve never seen a sycamore anywhere. But now that I know what to look for I will keep an eye open for them when out on excursions. I use the wood to make bagpipes and mostly for baby rattles because the wood is spectacular to look at, is tightly grained and finishes lovely. I have a friend who uses the wood exclusively to make very expensive Bassoons which he sells to professional musicians worldwide. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive to buy.
thanks Mike – they are such a neat tree – your rattles are beautiful! 🙂
