Beautiful Birch

I love a birch tree, and always want to gently peal away the bark
so I can write on it. Didn't people use to do that?

I do believe it's human nature to do that. Nice photo!

White birches are quite popular here in N.E. They tend to grow in cluster because they are weak and when growing alone will probably snap in a good wind.Writing was one of the uses for the bark. Another was to line the outside of a canoe.Ours don't peel as readily as those in the photo.

Great shot. Love the papery white colour of the barks.
