Hi Maureen. It is a birch branch, broken off in a wind and rain storm with a bit of the bark peeled back – showing the reverse of what you normally see. Wet from the rain it kind of shimmers like a velvet with polka dots.
Thank you so much for your explanation.I thought it must have been birch or aspen.not that I ever have seen them in real life! And thank you for taking time to visit my blog and “follow”. I appreciate it.
Interesting study! Please explain to an Australian what it represents as I don’t know what the contrasting black and white represents
