Tree bark - a photo on Flickriver

Tree bark

            Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily  and the theme at Looking close on Friday is tree bark. Tree bark brings back so many memories from my childhood. My Dad use to make any kind of tiny constructions for my sister and I to play with. We were very impressed with his skills. He had this tiny pocket knife and each time he got his hands on some old tree bark, he would make something awesome for us. I have a very vivid memory of a very, very elaborate (keep in mind he only had his tiny pocket knife to work with, no other tools or glue !) tree bark boat, it was made with several pieces and was big enough for our dolls to fit in and sail the seven seas…We played with that boat for days. So each time I see a piece of tree bark, I think about my Dad, the boat builder and the day dreamer… My Dad is like a tree, keeping our family together…giving away his bark just so his children and grandchildren can sail trough life safely and peacefully. 

Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

And just in case if you wonder: the tree bark in my picture is actually a wooden pencil. I could not resist buying those very cool looking but almost unusable (too hard to sharpen) tree bark pencils.

FYI: because of my renovation project I have to, constantly, move our stuff from one room to another on a very short notice !! So once again, I have to apologize for not answering your comments… I will try to catch up very shortly but for the next few days I’m afraid I will be M.I.A. (missing in action) !!!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
