Mundane Monday Challenge is created to find beauty in almost everything.
The challenge is simple. Find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.
It’s simply a tree bark, yet it’s gorgeous in its rough and crumbly texture with the sticky sap oozing out of its pores.
The sap must taste like caramel toffee or a sip of nectar ‘cos I saw little ants running up and down the length of the trunk, fetching and carrying little bits of dried sap that’s 3x their size.
Did you know that plant sap is rich in sucrose?
The Australian indigenous Aboriginals collect the sap from some native trees, roll it into marble size balls, and use it as a sweet treat 🙂 It’s delicious !

I wish I could remember which trees they were! We went on a cultural tour one year in the Botanical Gardens. It was so interesting.

That is a good texture. Did you mean all tree saps are rich in sucrose or this one?
