Pepper tree puzzler by evalieutionspics

Pepper tree puzzler

I was in the driveway thinking I would take a photo of the worm chewed fence railing when I saw what I thought was sap in a knot on the pepper tree on the other side of the fence. So I climbed the fence and perched on top of it while taking this photo. It was a precarious perch since I am not a small person...or a particularly agile climber and the pepper tree was about three feet away. I was irritating a bird while there. Maybe I will park on the wall proper some day to get some photos of it...if I can ever find it!

I don't know what all that not sap is, but I think it adds interest to my macro wood photo.
Looks like eggs to me.....snail or slug maybe? and some larvae? fascinating!

I agree, they do appear to be some sort of eggs but regardless, great observation skills and ensuing photo.

Intriguing shot

Glad you survived the climb. No idea what you have got but it certainly adds interest.

It could be a bit yucky in one light, interesting in another!

Cool find and shot!

That would of been a sight of you perched on the fence. Great storyline. The white stuff is possibly a fungus of some type.

@Cherrill Thank you! I'm not sure, but will be watching for further developments.

@brett101 Thank you very much! I used to think I was observant; then I started taking photographs. I am learning new skills.

@ziggy77 Thank you very much! I am also intrigued.

@helenhall I am glad also! I am pretty tough. Besides, I have some cushion to soften the blow. :) Thank you!

@maggiemae Thank you! It could be yucky...we'll have to see how it turns out.

@kwind Thank you very much!

@365projectorgjenfurj You have no idea. If my children could see what I get up to now, I am not sure if they would fall over laughing or give me a great big "Yay Mom". Probably a combination.
