Extreme Nebari in Nature

On the shores of Lake Ontario in Ajax, nebari exposed by nature.









And I LOVE the bark on this pine!



And this.



The angle of this tree is amazing when you consider it's massive size, compare it to the benches. I think it's a willow of some sort, the bark is also gorgeous and unusual.

i've seen black willow with gnarly bark like that..., foliage on the paler/variegated side... same ?

and i'm surprised ontario shoreline trees have so much lower exposure...
lake michigan is actually UP 2 feet (!) from last year...
(because of the winter we just had)

ruining some of our surf breaks
while creating new ones...







but i digress
