good hair day

this branch of eucalyptus caught my attention with its array of curled leaves. it looks like tousled hair. perhaps it’s because i am a northerner, and we don’t have eucalyptus and so that adds a bit of the exotic, but i do think eucalyptus leaves may be among my favorite leaves. their slender elegance, their sinuous curves, their dusty earth tones. yes. yes. and yes.
