The richness of the color and texture is so compelling.  Silver with pale green in the bottom left; rich rust across the middle;  mottled gray, cream, and pale orange at the top; and finally, the black-on-white veining just over the silver.  You can’t look at these trunks and say they are just “brown!”

There’s so much color in our world and we don’t seem to stop to notice it, usually.  I wonder how much my insipient cataracts keep me from seeing?  I’m pushing myself to really look!
