Evening sun on Manuka trees. . Manuka is abundant throughout New Zealand. Captain Cook used this plant to make tea, as he liked the bitter taste, hence its other common name of Tea-tree. Medicinal uses have been known for over 1000 years.An infusion of the bark was used externally and internally as a sedative. It was also used for scalds and burns. The ash from the bark was rubbed onto the skin to treat skin diseases, and vapour from leaves boiled in water was used for colds. . . .Recent research has proved many of these remedies, and tea tree oil is widely valued. . . Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. Thank you for taking a look.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.

I really like the golden sidelight you captured. So this is what I have been using for the occasional dry skin in winter. It really does work well. Beautiful capture.

A friend of mine works in a camera store. The other day a very
confused looking woman approached the counter and handed my friend
a camera. She said "I took pictures, but I forgot to have film in
the camera. Can you please get them out of the camera for me?"
Beautiful - strange to see the trees on a podest like that. Internally as a sedative? - hmm - Old Capt. Cook had no GPS but now I know why he took the wrong route sometimes :)

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Such a beautiful tree with many medicinal qualities. Wish I had one of these! LOL I'll keep the image though since the setting, the lighting and the graceful form of the tree make such a wonderful picture.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Nice evening glow in your capture. Interesting narrative. With trees like this all over the place you probably don't need many doctors in NZ.

Nice, Eve, and thanks for all the info. I'd heard of tea tree oil, but not the honey. Interesting article.

"You may forget.
But let me tell you this:
someone
in some future time
will think of us."
Besides the fact this image has a great composition and beautifully captured light in these gorgeous copper colors, what I like the most about it (and about a lot of your images) is that it has a specific “mood” and the style is more narrative, than simply visual. Very, very well done!

You my Caedes friends post the most wonderful images out here. Full of beauty, life and gorgeous colors. For that, you have my heartfelt 'thanks'. I love 'browsing them' and wish there was more time to personally comment on every one of them.
Thanks for sharing that fascinating information! Beautiful shot of the tree, too. Now I know where tea tree oil comes from.
