  1. On a long ago day, snow lingered on the coppery arbutus trees and the sky reinvented the colour blue.

  2. Bark of an arbutus tree also known as madrone. An amazing tree that grows in some areas of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

  3. Earlier this week, I went on a photo excursion to my secret spot with lots of arbutus (madrone) trees. The weather was a bit dramatic: strong winds, showers and thunder. Imagine walking outside with a tripod when there is thunder... Anyway, I came back home with lots of images and this is one of them.

    The arbutus, also known as madrone, is an interesting tree that I love to photograph. The bark peels off over time in a dramatic way, revealing a finer layer in the brown and redish tones, and a core that goes from yellow to red. Sometimes part of the outer bark turns black. The tree appears dead but it is not.

    For this shot, I was interested in the texture of the bark.

    #OTD #CarlSandburg, American #Poet & #Writer, is born.

    His Galesburg, Illinois, birthplace has a #Garden & a boulder marking his remains.

    Plain-spoken & direct, Carl wrote an American #Fairytale book called #Rootabaga Stories in which he wrote,

    "Life is like an #Onion.
    You peel it off one layer at a time, & sometimes you #Weep."

    His #Poem, Accomplished Facts, begins:

    "Every year #EmilyDickinson sent one friend
    the first #Arbutus bud in her garden."

    When I see an arbutus tree, or madrone, in our coastal forests, I immediately jump into creative mode. I am attracted by its shape, texture and colour. I always try to find a composition that reflects the intricacy of this species of tree. This tree can be found from southwestern British Columbia to Baja California.
