Some say that the wrinkles and scars on a man's face give him character. Is that just a nice way of saying that the man has grown old? Perhaps!
In the case of trees, though, the signs of their age certainly do add interest and beauty.
The example that I'm showing here features the healed wound of a branch that has been lopped off as well as the remnants of the sappy tears that once ran down from the wound.
Extending up from the wound is another curvy vertical scar that has healed as a testament to the power and resilience of this moss covered tree!
Here is My Submission For This Week's Tree Tuesday!
I found so much to look at on the trunk of this tree!
Why Don't You Get Involved In Tree Tuesday!
If you'd like to have some fun and enter #treetuesday which was initiated by @old-guy-photos, it's easy to do. Just share one of your tree photos in a post and include the hashtag #treetuesday! Why not get invloved and enter either this Tuesday or any Tuesday to come!
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
Except for the moss that tree looks a lot like me!

Always great to see the Old Dog in the tag! That is a great old tree with a lot going on in the pic. I really like seeing the moss/lichen on the trees. I heard it say that is an indication of good air quality!

@kus-knee,
Time cure everything! Look at what you shared, it's a best example for that! I might try to find a tree which cured by time! Hope it will work! Nice contest!
Cheers~

Of course, trees, like humans, are getting old. Old age is often not only wisdom but also beauty. If it have prestige! The trees have. That's what I get from your picture. About your invitation ... I like to post to @old-guy-photos's challenge. Now I'm a little late, but I will succeed.

Dear friend, the word of God says: everything that breathes praises Jehovah, and I am sure that this tree as a living being, I weep the cut of its branch, and for the sample it is there with that wounded gra and a big hole in it. his heart, but still, his moss does not leave him, I know that he will not heal, nor will he ever do the same as before, but the best thing of all is that he still, wounded, continues to breathe. Beautiful photo.

Oh wow @kus-knee this is a wonderful find! I am intruigued by tree scars like this. I photographed one here in the jungle just recently but couldn’t figure out what had caused it to be the way it was. I guess I should study then phenomina more to understand what I am looking at. Your photo is rather epic I have to say, there is just so much going on in it!!
