52 Photos Project: Fresh

This week's 52 Photos Project prompt is

 

FRESH.

 

 

I'm calling this one

 

"Fresh Peeled".

 

This is another Eucalyptus tree in Claremont, CA.

A while back I showed a different tree that had layers of bark lifting up.  You can see that one here.

52 Photos Project: Layers

This week's prompt for the

52 Photos Project is

 

LAYERS.

 

 

My first thought was to take a picture of some

chickens,

but that didn't work out for me this time.

So here is my next thought:

 

 

This is one of the Eucalyptus trees

that line the streets of

Claremont, California.

 

I've long been fascinated by their peeling bark,

so yesterday I stopped & snapped some shots.

This is a Blue Gum.

Blue Gum Eucalypts are one of the major sources of eucalyptus oil which can be used as an essential oil, in herbal teas & medications for a few examples.

However, it can also cause contact dermatitus, headaches & convulsions, and even be fatal if ingested.
