When it rains and her bark is wet, the smooth skin makes it easy to grip and hang and twist and turn on it. It feels like a hand holding you up.
Also, in the summer, cicadas leave their husks on her. My dream is to hold a live one someday, like your photo I saw a year or so ago. I think about it sometimes. That they don’t let just anyone find them, and they let you. @robingoodfellow
