Bark

Thinking of Nathalie Bandulet's work using tree bark, I started noticing the various ways bark splits on different species of street trees. Guess I stood looking at them too long, camera in hand - a man returning to his home asked me, in that polite English way, if I was looking for something. (People get suspicious if you take photos of things they either don't notice or don't find interesting.) The reply - "I'm an artist doing visual research" - probably didn't reassure him...
