Silver Birch Trunk

they are lovely and really stand out amongst other trees :o))

I love the different barks. They're so fascinating.

I love to see these too, very striking trees.

They are very impressive and command attention ..........

They remind me of a snake shedding its skin.

I love the Birches too Dawn.......I think they are so impressive when they are leafless.......

Me to Maureen, I know they're commonplace but I think they are lovely.

Birches are gorgeous, a winter treat! When I was a little girl I thought I would help my dad gardening while he was at work so I spent a long time peeling all the 'paper' off the tree until it was nice and smooth! Needless to say my dad wasn't too happy about my 'helping' and I can't remember if the birch survived the winter without bark. :)

Hello Limpet - I must admit I like peeling too, its so nice to see the pure white trunk underneath. Have you seen those gorgeous paper bark maples, just beautiful.
