Bonnie suggests for this weeks Photo Art Friday, we use a photo from our archives that never received the attention it deserved. Nature-study was one of my most favourite subjects in primary school years, learning and drawing inside our botany book, maybe various leaf shapes, or insects. Sometimes our teacher would take us on a walk through the bushland near the school, to return with a small collection of treasures to put on display in the classroom.
I'll forever be fascinated with nature, and decided to bring this photo to the fore demonstrating the charming 'drawings' on this Scribbly Gum eucalypt. When the larvae of the Scribbly Gum Moth tunnel under the bark, this is what they create.

What an amazing picture of what the Scribbly Gum Moth can create. Never heard of this moth. I'm learning a lot of the nature in your world.
Love what you did to the tree.

Very pretty!!! Just ordered my Photoshop Elements 10 (they let me do it as an upgrade from vs. 4!). Hope to be able to play with some of the textures soon!

Don't the moth larvae kill the tree? Or does the bark come off naturally?
