This is my Tree.....A big old Maple just outside my back door.
I went out and took some pictures of the bark this week. It has what I call old bark...because it is old...I've lived here 40 years and the tree was already this size when we moved here. This is the small hole... I've seen squirrels sitting here while munching on food. They are fast little buggers...I seem to get a picture of them.
There is another hole on the other side...I had to take 2 pictures to get the whole thing. This is the top of the hole...

I love maple trees! Does anything live in that hole?
ReplyDeleteI like your tree. I'm definitely a tree-hugger. A nice big tree in our yard was a huge selling point when we bought our house.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you joined in the fun. That's a big tree—I'm looking forward to seeing it covered in leaves.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the tree following community!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if especially the larger of those holes in the bark are the result of old cuts, e.g. if someone has harvested the inner bark at some point in the past?
Lovely tree - and I hope it stays standing for a long while yet!
