Description
I joined the 365-day Journal challenge for 2022 and here is my ‘Day 71.
March 12, 2022, Journal Entry:
This is a small tree in Southern California that had interesting seed pods on the branches. I shot this image with my macro lens for an extreme close up of the pods. I believe there is a spider on the lower pod which is not the focus of this image but a happy capture anyway.
It is on a Paperbark tree or Melaleuca, a type of Myrtle tree. It is considered an invasive species of shrub tree originating from Australia. There are over 300 types of these trees, and I am not sure what type this one is. They can actually grow up to 80 feet tall. They attract birds, bees and butterflies and bloom summer to fall.
