The sad sight. Coconut trees which have been attacked by the Red Beetle ... (Samui)

Trees lining the beach at Maehaad Beach Koh Phangan

I had resigned myself to returning home with no photos as I neared the end on my mt. bike ride today. Suddenly, in the middle of a muddy field stood a solitary tree. Something about it mirrored my mood of late, so I dismounted and circled the tree taking shots from different angles.

Another angle.

^ Yep... I know that feeling VF... some days it just seems like nothing worth taking a photo of!

Here is a small tree, that fooled me... I had never seen that flower before... I took the picture and after walking away went and looked more closely... it was a silk flower

A bit late but what the heck.

Lopburi Xmas trees with a pickup thrown in for free.

^ Russian Xmas has just happened!.... so not that late!

Mango trees starting to set flowers... on Samui!

One of the most sought after trees in the country.

The rare Hong Thong tree in full fruit.

Increasingly becoming more popular is the North-Eastern variety of the ( Supportus Branches Tree )

Although this example has been systemically grafted to attain maximum productivity , there is a natural occurring variety that displays similar confronting evolvement traits , such as the downward and splayed supports .

These hybrid trees are a great resource for poor Thai farmers.

They provide both shade and food .

It's awful and the Draggon knows it.

I don't get to see this sort of tree images MJP , I am not concerned about the quality , moreso the actual image .

Goomp's, what you're witnessing, this ugly spectacle, this torrid exchange . . . is British humour.

And to think that you convicts came over here forcefully to let me gestate in a box without ever considering the imput to your output would end up in this scenario !

God Forbid !

I never deemed it possible , laughing inside at the moment .

HHuuummphh!

Seems I accidentally hit the BBC mode , and I will not accept responsibility for Rolf !

No we sent all them off many generations ago. Although come to think of it yes, my own family did own two thirds of the land Sydney now stands on, back in the day but in the even longer standing tradition of coming from a long lineage of clusterfkcus traced back to beyond the stone age we managed to lose that 'n all so I'm posting this from a house that can structurally only be described as a glorified cow shed in the back end of the developing world and I still don't have a full frame shooty shooty.

It's all gone wrong . . . Goomps.

^ OMG!!! ... you guys babbling on... like a bunch of old dears from a W. I. .... meeting . ....I had to go back one page, to see what all the fuss was about!

shall we move on? ...

Rubber trees with condoms plastic bag catchers....

Blimey Jimmy, they are cheap down south. Rolls Royce of a job up here in the well to do north.

Look at the state of that nasty a$$sed APS-C image! I'm ashamed.
