I have some time now to process my Hawaii pictures and found this photo of beautiful eucalyptus bark. While in Hawaii we visited the Dole Pineapple plantation. Planted on the grounds were these beautiful Mindanao Gum trees (Rainbow Eucalyptus).
These are the colors of the bark. Patches of the outer bark shed annually at different times, and the bright-green inner bark shows through. It darkens and matures to give these gorgeous colors. (Wikipedia) (Disclaimer: These are the colors, I've done nothing in Photoshop.)

Amazing. Thanks for capturing that - I've never seen one before. Too cool
Thanks all. Several years ago my sister & I went to Maui. I had seen a photo of these gorgeous eucalyptus trees & wanted to take my own photo. We asked around, got directions, drove miles to see them -- and never found them! We did see other beautiful views and spots, but not the rainbow eucalyptus. Finally -- I almost bumped into it ;-)
I have never seen anything like this before Judy - I wonder if they have the same Euclyptus in Australia hmmm one to google/wiki :-)
