Back to the Bark

Today marks the close of the first year

since I posted my first entry

on this blog!

A lot can happen in a year, eh?

This picture of a eucalyptus tree

was taken just two days before I created this blog.

I really thought I was going to upload

a long series of "bark" pictures,

but once I got started

the bark-pics

seemed a little,

well,

boring.

However,

this estimable eucalyptus

has its charms;

not the least of which

is that I find it

a fitting enough

bookend to mark

my one year anniversary.

Also,

I did not manage

to create a montage,

and I couldn't pick

a "top ten" group.

Anyway,

thanks to all who

pass this way

for taking a moment

to stop

and smell

the eucalyptus.
