Scribbly Gum bark art
The Scribbly Gum, is an Australian eucalypt that is named after the "scribbles" on its bark. These zigzag tracks are tunnels made by the larvae of the scribbly gum moth (Ogmograptis scribula).
This is the product of a wet afternoon. I've recently discovered all the wonderful free brushes that are available with Photoshop. I could play happily with these for hours ... and probably will. Don't worry, normal service will be resumed shortly, I'm sure. :))
So, as I still don't feel inclined to sew much, and having two flickr accounts is a pain in the bum, I decided to consolidate them both. These are some of my amateur scribbles from a while ago. I like to scribble.
Hello my Flickr friends. Sorry I have not been around lately to view your streams - combination of not feeling well, busy with work etc etc. Have missed the inspiration your work gives me. Look forward to catching up with all your streams over the next few days/weeks...

The 'scribbles' on the bark of these trees are made by the larvae of tiny moths, which burrow under the bark. Like many eucalypts, scribbly-gums lose their old bark each year, and when they do so the trails of the larvae can be seen.

Recently, I was walking along an abandoned railway in an seaside area north of Santa Cruz, Calif. This was while navigating a path that led to a Pacific Ocean beach.
To me, it was sad to see the railway was littered with graffiti or, in this case, what some might call “tagging.” (I am not an expert on the subject.) We know that graffiti or tagging in an urban area, and in a controlled setting, can sometimes be a place for artistic expression. But vandalizing this railway, even if the railway is no longer in use, does nothing of value for anyone –– and is certainly not artistic.
As “The Outdoor Society” has so aptly put it, “We need to stop people from desecrating sites with stupid scribbles.”

mistakes in the making of the thing, dead ends. What was supposed to develop, but for some reason didn't; or vice versa

Australian native tree the scribbly gum trees most distinctive features of this eucalypt are the ‘scribbles’ made by moth larva as it tunnels between the layers of bark.
October totally snuck up on me, and I missed my chance for the opening day of Arachtober by forgetting it was, in fact, already October! A little sad that this is a day late, but happy Arachtober 2nd, everyone! This Huntsman was spotted with many others of its kind on a scribbly gum tree. Seen during a "night safari" at a local reserve. [Lower Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia]
