It is descended from herbaceous ancestors and its trunk doesn't consist of true wood. It's sometimes called a tree, other times an herb, and other times a plant. I'll update the post to be a bit more clear (now that I've done a little reading... a little late).Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-25445617627691671282012-07-29T18:10:13.937+02:002012-07-29T18:10:13.937+02:00What a rich legacy Sevilla has.

I don't think that was the intention here. (And when I stayed in Italy in the '70s, I noticed their tiny mosquitoes were undaunted by a little bit of beading!) <br /><br />I don't think money will be pouring in any time soon. So, I'll just have to keep visiting the museum and contributing my 1.30 euros!Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-9877431101548495982012-07-29T16:48:02.891+02:002012-07-29T16:48:02.891+02:00We call 'em museums here, but from the looks o...We call 'em museums here, but from the looks of your photos, they are just every other building.<br />Or every building.<br /><br />I want a black pearl curtain!!Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302478126147924237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-38079691664356919202012-07-29T13:50:41.330+02:002012-07-29T13:50:41.330+02:00Such lovely pictures.
