The content describes a photograph of a woodpile taken by the author. The woodpile contains dark lines or trails which the author speculates could be caused by worms in decaying mesquite. The wood is dry in the photograph, but the author was able to get a photo of the same wood after it snowed, showing the wood wet and with more color.
The photograph is intriguing because of the unusual marks on the wood. The author notes that they have no idea what caused the marks, but speculates that worms in decaying mesquite could be the culprit. This adds a bit of mystery to the photograph and makes the viewer wonder what might have happened to the wood to create such distinctive marks.
The woodpile itself is not especially remarkable, although it does appear to be quite large. The wood is arranged haphazardly and it is difficult to tell whether it is part of a larger stack or has been deliberately put together in this way. It is also not clear whether the woodpile is intended for professional use or simply for personal use, such as heating a home or cooking meals.
The photograph changes somewhat when the wood is wet, as the marks become more distinct and colorful. The author notes that this is because the moisture has brought out the natural colors of the wood, which can be muted when it is dry. This is an interesting observation and shows that even small changes in the environment can have a big impact on how the wood appears.
Overall, the photograph is an interesting study of a woodpile and the marks on the wood itself. While there is no definitive answer as to what caused the trails, the speculation by the author adds a layer of intrigue that makes the photograph all the more compelling.
