It is interesting what you discovered about the word Calyptos and how it applies to the Eucalyptus tree. That is awesome. Makes the tree sound very mysterious. ;)Danielle Pajakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678551471984388801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222030768950370789.post-83744376567437882712012-10-20T08:48:23.635-07:002012-10-20T08:48:23.635-07:00Those are great sketches.

I love the Eucalyptus trees. <br /><br />Here is something that I thought was interesting about Eucalyptus: the name came from a french botanist who coined the term from the root greek word "Calyptos" meaning hidden, because of the outer bud caps which hide and protect the flower as it develops, until the pressure breaks through it and reveals it. Calypto is also the Greek word referred to in Matthew 5:15 when it describes that a man do not "hide" a lamp. And it's also the root word from which we get Apocalypto or Apocalypse which describes the revealing of Jesus, and revelation. For the hidden to be revealed. Anyway, I thought that was interesting and worth sharing haha!<br /><br />I like the simplicity of your drawings of natural and organic life, and how each of these pictures is a focused glimpse.Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305839824223447978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222030768950370789.post-23815954664080684222012-10-19T19:06:27.872-07:002012-10-19T19:06:27.872-07:00Hi!
