The them for August from Wild Daffodil is a tricky one, it’s flake. I’m tempted to include a photo of a rather nice chocolate bar, but that would end up with me eating it!
This is the bark of a beautiful tree at Kew Gardens.
I’ve had these three guineafowl chicks for probably 10 years now, the coating on them is getting decidedly flaky, but I still love them, they have so much character!
The seat on my rose arbour is in need of a new coat of paint as it’s coming off in large flakes, I don’t think it helped when the chickens perched on it during their last winter with us! Rosie doesn’t care if it’s a bit flaky, it’s a cool spot!
I took lots of photos of eucalyptus during our holiday in Australia, I love looking at their bark, this one isn’t too flaky, but some have huge areas peeling.

Oh I love this post – even though you found the subject tricky you tackled it with aplomb! Your first photo is intriguing – I keep going over and over it, the texture and colours are wonderful.
Those metal chicks are SO full of character – enchanting!
Thank you so much for this really fascinating entry. 🙂

OOoh, we have a lots of flaky wood trim at the moment….don’t think I take a photo though. Your arbor is a decidedly nicer example! Love the Guinea fowl!

I think you did very good for the theme without falling to the delicious Flake chocolate temptation! My favourite is your bark picture, I just love all the different shades and shapes, it’s really pretty ❤
