Scribbly Gum Bark Triptych

Another of my favourite trees is the scribbly gum. I love how the scribbly gum moth larvae bore tunnels through the bark of the tree creating amazing patterns. The patterns always remind me of Aboriginal art.

I expect that's where they got their inspirations from!

@ludwigsdiana Yes there are lots of scribbly gum trees near where I live. In this particular area about 2 km from my house there are about 25 in one area of bushland.

I create all my collages myself in Photoshop.

Very cool- I wonder what scribbles mean! In my world when I "doodle" like this it means I'm bored with the speaker!
