Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
The colours are wonderful (you are changing your colour style to blue-green-greyish, ;-)).
ReplyDeleteJust read a little bit about coral trees - not seen around here, ;-).
Is a coral tree the same as an illawarra flame tree?
ReplyDeleteNo nothing like judging by the image of an Illawarra Flame tree I found here.

Martina, I think the colours are a result of location -- the seaside is blue-green-greyish, the inland is brownish and the mountains are greenish.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really nice description of your world, :-).
ReplyDeletei feel the bare trees...love them as much as green
