TUESDAY'S TEXTURE 102610

Today I came across an article on NPR  about photographer Cedric Pollet and thought it would be a perfect post for Tuesday's Texture. Cedric has been traveling the globe photographing bark and has a 190 page coffee table book with over 220 species in over 400 photo's.  Does this guy have MY DREAM JOB or what?

This type of manzanita grows in the San Luis Obispo region of California. Its reddish-purple bark starts to peel in early summer. Photo from Cedric Pollet's upcoming book -  BARK.

We actually have a few of the Rainbow Eucalyptus trees here in the yard and they really are a favorite for their peeling and ever changing colored bark.
