Eucalyptus - Kew Gardens

On our visit to Kew Gardens, my eldest son and I, were checking out the trees for his college project. We came across a stand of various species of Eucalyptus trees. I like this shot because he is having fun and because the bark on this tree is really lovely. It was so smooth and silky to the touch. I don't remember having felt bark like that before. Interesting spiral patterns around the tree too. Fun day!
