The bark is so smooth, with the swirling designs, I thought they almost looked like they were made from marble. Let me know if you ever discover the name of the trees.Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712925834229282680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-64570346211311421162011-02-27T10:14:00.400-04:002011-02-27T10:14:00.400-04:00wow on the twisted trees, i love all things trees ...wow on the twisted trees, i love all things trees and these are beautiful. and certianly fit the twisted part. you did a great job on the framing the photo alsoMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-80624402540116402142011-02-20T16:18:33.705-04:002011-02-20T16:18:33.705-04:00those trees are great for photo shoots.
