 I am always looking for interesting plant life to take photos so when i saw these gum nut cluster I new I wanted to photograph them.

Very Australian, as they come from our eucalyptus trees.

They remind me of the Australian children's book called "Gumnut Babies".

See here Gumnut Babies by May Gibbs and also here Gumnut babies images

Enjoy.....
