  1. If you enlarge the photo, the effect is better. This is a log from a diseased elm that used to be in our yard. My husband cut the tree down last year, but I just thought to photograph the logs a few days ago. I used a super-macro setting.

  3. Dutch Elm Beetle! That's painful to look at but nicely photographed. I lost two mature elms to Dutch Elm disease two years ago and I still miss them.

  4. The photo is very impressive and interesting. It looks like a aerial view of the desert. But it is sad that the tree got sick and had to be cut down.

  8. Even enlarged, it looks like a landscape taken from an airplane. I love the shot (but not the fact you lost a tree to disease.)

    Happy WW!

  13. I thought the same thing as Beth. If you'd asked me to guess what it was, I would never have guessed a tree!

  22. Interesting shot. Honestly, couldn't figure out why you were taking pictures of animal poop. :0 Then I saw the title. It gets more fascinating the more look at it.
