I was poking around in the zen garden and saw some potential kukui blossom shots. But there was too much wind for that.

 

I noticed white material on the trunk and what I thought was a drop of water. To the naked eye it looked interesting. So I went back inside and mounted the closeup lens.

 

I'm not sure what this is. At first I thought it was water, but now I'm thinking it's sap or exudate from something living on the kukui.

 

This is considerably cropped -- I couldn't get as close as I wanted to and still maintain focus. The wind was moving the trunk slightly.
