Treat Me Kind...

So yesterday's blog showed the orderliness of the carpenter's workshop and today I have selected some shots of some of the wood off cuts. 

If you have seen my blog before then you will know that I like textures, patterns and colours in nature and I have posted pictures of wood grain previously click here or here for example.

I really like the warm colours in these bits of wood just discarded and left to decay.  I also like the patterns in the grain. The third picture is of a cross section of a tree stump and in the centre there is a core of bark which has been "consumed" as the tree has grown around it.

I had stopped to take pictures of water droplets (see the third shot on yesterday's post) and I leant against this tree to help keep steady but when I turned I saw this marvelous exposed wood which gleams with vivid colour. I love the variety of colours, the contours and textures of the wood and its grain.
