Trees have always fascinated me.

I love taking photos of all types of trees.  Sometimes the photos are of large groups of trees , an individual tree or as in this case just a portion of a tree.

This Oak tree is located next to the east beach at Lake Kiowa, Texas. I was fascinated by the knot hole on this tree and even more so, once I downloaded the photo.  If you look closely, you can see what looks like a spider web covering the hole.   I almost didn’t take the photo because I was in a hurry that day.  I’m glad that I took the time because the tree was trimmed recently and looks very different.

Do trees fascinate you, also?  What type of trees grow  where you live?   Share a photo in the comments below.
