Simple: post an interesting closeup picture of the bark of a tree you own (refined bonsai or long term project, doesn’t matter). Focus on picture quality, proper focus and lighting.
If you post in this thread, you must attach a bark picture, no exception. Same rule as in the other picture threads.
I’ll start:
Red elm (ulmus rubra) bark, from a stump collected this spring.
My collected picea glauca from northern British Columbia. It’s tough to capture all the different colours the bark can show depending on the lighting. Various red, blue, grey, browns. I quite enjoy how the bark twists only in certain light, the third pic shows it pretty well surprisingly because it doesn’t show it to the naked eye.
