Birch bark has always fascinated me. As a boy I kept a collection one summer, of the best scraps I had found, pretending, if memory serves me right, that they represented some kind of wealth. This snippet is from a foggy morning at Quoddy Head State park, and you can see the moisture saturating the bark\u2026in both the natural and the photographic sense. Backing away a bit\u2026and a bit further<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see that even at these moderate distances you begin to see the effect of the fog\u2026though it does not diminish the beauty of the birch.<\/p>\n
