Today I’m participating in Where’s My Backpack’s Travel Theme photo challenge. This week’s theme is “brown”. Remember you can click on each photo for a larger view.

I wrote a post with a brown theme just a few weeks ago so I thought I’d use some new photos for this post today. Here are some photos I took today and last weekend to illustrate this theme. Trees are mainly what came to mind, like these many brown leaves that fell off a Ginkgo tree.
I’m not sure what type of tree this is but I was fascinated by its reddish brown bark, as well as the many twists displayed on the tree trunk.
Talking about interesting tree bark, this are the branches of a cork oak tree. This is what we use to make wine bottle corks, cork flooring, cork wall boards, etc. Pretty cool looking, huh?
I snapped a photo of this cute brown mallard female duck today, as she was snacking on some underwater plants. Nature sure knows how to add interesting patterns to brown to make it beautiful.

Good shots, Milka. I mostly like the twisted tree trunk.
Thank you very much! I really like it too.
A superb display of tree bark and that last picture shows a lovely reflection.
Thank you very much! I really liked the reflection in the pond and I’m glad I was able to have a duck in my shot too.
Wonderful captures, Milka. My favourite would be the duck – I really like the brown constrasting with the green leaves.
Thank you so much! I really like how that photo came out.
I really like the twisted trunk image and have never seen a cork tree!
Aren’t those cork trees amazing? And they can be really tall too. When you touch the bark, it feels just like the cork in its end product.
Wow, how fun!
Thank you!
wonderful pictures!! Never saw a tree trunk like that before.

Thank you! I hadn’t either and that’s why I want to capture it on camera. I wish I knew what kind of tree it was.
Beautiful photos for this challenge, love the capture of the texture of the bark!
Thank you very much! That bark is something.
