I had originally thought the common name might refer to the pattern in the bark, like argyle socks. (I don't actually see it--just guessing.) Well, not so much. Apparently this species of Eucalyptus is native to an area that included Argyle Co. in New South Wales, which has had its name changed since the name was applied to the tree. The apple part of the common name is apparently from someone thinking the bark resembled that of an apple tree, though this tree may be more furrowed than some and not the best example. But that deep pattern and those angles are what attracted me. The species name cinerea means "ash-colored," referring to the foliage's silvery-blue-green appearance. This particular tree is a street tree in Morro Bay, California
"As the poet said, 'only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on."--Woody Allen
This is a Photoshopped version of the Ganymede and Eagle mosaic at Bignor Roman Villa. The real mosaic has some tesserae missing where the eagle's left (right from our viewpoint) wing is missing. I have use Photoshop Elements to copy the eagle's right wing, flipped it, placed and distorded into the gap. Also part of Ganymede's cloak has been given the same treatment an some white backround tesserae have been cloned in to tidy up.
This impressive mosaic was the centrepiece of a dining room, or triclinium. It shows the young Trojan prince Ganymede being abducted by the god Zeus (Roman god is Jupiter) to be his cupbearer on Mount Olympus. Zeus has disguised himself as a large eagle.
In Greek mythology, Ganymede was a divine hero whose homeland was Troy. Homer describes Ganymede as the most beautiful of mortals. In the best-known myth, he is abducted by Zeus, in the form of an eagle, to serve as cup-bearer in Olympus. Some interpretations of the myth treat it as an allegory of the human soul aspiring to immortality. It also served as a model for the Greek social custom of paiderastía, the relationship between a man and a youth. The Latin form of the name was Catamitus, from which the English word "catamite" derives.
Ganymede was the son of Tros of Dardania, from whose name "Troy" was supposed to derive, and of Callirrhoe. His brothers were Ilus and Assaracus.
Ganymede was abducted by Zeus from Mount Ida, near Troy in Phrygia. Ganymede had been tending sheep, (hence the staff seen here) a rustic or humble pursuit characteristic of a hero's boyhood before his privileged status is revealed.
Notice the 'Phrygian cap' worn by Ganymede - a sign that he came from the East.
Bignor Roman Villa was a large Roman courtyard villa which has been excavated and put on public display on the Bignor estate in West Sussex. It is well-known for its high quality mosaic floors, which are some of the most complete and intricate in the country.
The rooms on display today are mostly located at the west end of the north wing, including a summer and winter (underfloor heated) dining room. The bathhouse is to the south-east. The rooms contain some of the best Roman mosaics to be found in Great Britain, both in terms of preservation, artistic merit and detailing. The Greek-key-patterned northern corridor extends for some 79 ft (24m).
The number of colors depend on the platform, on some both feet and tail-spikes are yellow. I forgot to buy red/orange cardboard, so mine was all yellow too.

Pessima luce negli stagni di Minzolino ma i riflessi nell'acqua mi piacevano per questo Airone bianco maggiore (Ardea alba) in volo
Bad light in Minzolino ponds but I liked the pattern in reflection of water during the Great Egret flight (Ardea alba)

This sort of reminds me of the first scene in Star Wars: A New Hope, where the star destroyer flies in from above.
