I think you have done a good job in highlighting the beautiful barks and the magnificence of trees. I have fallen in love with your Dill or No Dill plant because of the butterflies and critters that it attracts. Hope to get one for my garden soon.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-1842788826700974912011-11-19T02:43:48.297+08:002011-11-19T02:43:48.297+08:00Hi Andrea, The blue coloring of the drunken butter...Hi Andrea, The blue coloring of the drunken butterflies is beautiful. I thought of tree bark for my texture post, but didn't have many photographic references. I am glad that you did, because these textures are always so fascinating.

The Citrus trees with the lichen is really strange and interesting. We don't have lichens here and they have a unique look in the tropics. I love your tamarind leaves....and the butterfly shot is really cool. I believe you are correct....they are a bit intoxicated from the sap of the plant.

The smell is supposed to repel mosquitoes but not very effective unless you keep breaking the stems to emit the smell. I too have many photos of tree barks but didn't post them. In fact I have 2 similar photos to Donna's taken for this theme but didn't post them either. Looks like we all have been looking at some similar subjects.Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919719601969345138noreply@blogger.com
