Bark Of The Oak Tree

          Several days ago,I was at one of my favorite local nature spot Fields Pond on an unusually warm and sunny early October day. While staring at an oak tree down by the pond of the shore,one that I've looked at many times,I noticed how much nature had patterned the bark of this tree much in the manner of a mosaic. Sometimes it's all too easily to take for granted the artfulness of nature as we tend to pass through it with a specific destination in our minds. On this day? I decided to give this fairly common but nonetheless fascinating natural phenomenon a second look.
