The Quest ~

I went out this morning with my pole pruner on a quest.

Down to the local bridle path on a hunt to seek the elusive...

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus cuttings are great to use either massed together as in this Moroccan urn, or as a filler in dried flower arrangements.

 And 

as a bonus, bringing them inside also makes the house smell wonderful, and once dried they seem to last forever.

As you can see, I was successful in my adventure, but did notice that the lack of rain water from our current drought has taken a dramatic toll on the trees. I salvaged all of this from a branch that had recently broken off.

In my next post I will show you one of the things I did with this bounty.

So come back soon for the next installment...
