Beautiful. I used to collect pieces of gum when I was a child. I think they came from a eucalyptus tree we had in the garden.

The resin gathers the sun and radiates it back. Great capture, Su!

Thanks Peter. From memory I had to get the Big T to stop the car so I could clamber round in the bush to capture this. 🙂
