Zoo Trails...

Took a couple of g-kids to the zoo a few weeks back and while the animals grabbed most of the attention, I came to an abrupt halt in front of this vertical log fence... a facination in and of itself but...



I spotted this wonderful work of art, a fat, winding trail that curved this way and that, leaving a contrasting lacy pattern reminiscent of the finest handwork.













Then I saw another... this time very fine lines dominated the pattern in a web-like manner.











Note the contrast in the third pic below... the dark grid scale of the rear tree to the texture of thick and thin lines and puffy texture.

















And a delicate linear treatment in the last view. I suppose different trees are enjoyed by different tree eaters, all having their own creative methods of chowing down.

As it should be...
