Sort of Ace , but you cannot eat them this is what they look like when in flower

I prefer B&W. Dancealot inspired.!!

I blogged to friends and family back home that this tree has exteremely fragarant citrus-scented flowers and that the seed pods were in fact Thai sausages, which are hung in this particular type of tree to dry in the sun so that they take on a delicate citrus tang....

Not one person queried my insanity!

I liked the way these caught the evening light.. (Doi Angkang)

Edited to add location.

[Rob8891]

And here are a few more trees....apparently not at the optimum for blooms, but I was happy with the assortment of textures and colours!

On Doi Angkang

[shaggy1969]

Sorry guys but it's another dead looking tree from me

[Rob8891]

^^ Maybe it's suffered a BS overload??

[sunshine51]

@ Shaggy...It looks OK to me because the carabao & the hitchiker make the shot IMO!

[samuijimmy]

Loosing a lot of leaves for some one to sweep up!

[shaggy1969]

@ Rob....suppose you can get too much of a good thing then!

@sunshine.....Thanks,That was the plan,took me about 20 goes before I got one that I was happy with.Bloody bird kept flying off and the buff only wanted

to keep it's head done and eat.........inconsiderate or what?

[sunshine51]

^^^ Shaggy...Carabao have this uncanny ability to be inconsiderate b@%*&%$s

at any time! They just don't care...what we think.

[Rob8891]

^^^^^ etc

...and those wretched egrets are too darned camera-shy. I have tried and tried to get shots of them with cattle on a riverbank...and spook the little beggars every time, no matter how carefully I go.
