When I walk the dog around the yard in the morning or afternoon, I like to have my camera handy. It helps me pay attention to what I see, so that I really see it. For a few moments, I forget all else except what's right in front of me. Today I zeroed in on the Sycamore tree in the SW corner of the 3-acre lot. It's in the process of shedding bark, an annual event. The ground at the base of this tree is littered with thin strips of discarded bark. Aren't the layers and colors wonderful?
