With my camera and with Photoshop I played around again today with the melaleuca trees at our place.  Like all our trees whose ancestry can be traced back to Australia, the melaleuca changes daily... hourly, actually, because its skin changes from one mood/tone/color to the next as light plays with it throughout the day.  The eucalyptus trees in our back yard shed their skin over a period of several weeks, and it falls around the yard making a huge mess.  The melaleuca is much less messy, but no less fascinating to watch from day to day.  I never get tired of looking at them.
