In The Macroverse: Woodpeckers versus Pine Tree.
The woodpeckers at Mount Laguna this weekend worked nonstop pounding on the pine trees and storing their nuts in the bark. The trees didn't seem to complain but nobody would blame them if they did. Here's an example of the woodpeckers' work.
And here's an oozing wound in the bark from all that pecking. That's gotta hurt.
But it's not all pain and destruction. Here's a pretty sapfall hanging from the bark.
For more closeup photos of a pine tree's skin, go to my picasaweb photos page at picasaweb.google.com/tdavera, open the folder labeled In The Macroverse, and scroll to the end. (Here.)
