Pretty Turkish Pine
I decided to dedicate this week to photographs of trees. They are one of natures most amazingly generous gifts and are a welcome respite in this harsh desert climate. This beauty lives in my backyard, she is known as either a Turkish or Afghan Pine. Apparently, this tree is home to "sap-sucking aphids" and I'm sure they are quite happy here because this tree is full of honeydew sap. Apparently bees love it and make fabulous honey with it...haven't figured out where to get any yet. I just love the beautiful rust tones within her layers and the elephant-skin gray bark on top. I intend to print a few of these on acrylic as a way of bringing the outside in so I can enjoy them even more!
