Red Gum

This is a tree I think we don't see in the mountains. It was different enough to attract my attention.

Sydney Red Gum - Angophora costata

    Interesting use of the double-negative in your text this morning.

    I think Red-Bums are the variety that drop limbs is the tree is under stress of any sort. Internal protection, I suppose.

    Interesting double negative fixed. My ability to make typos is notorious.

    I've not seen that type of gum tree here - but love the texture of the bark.

    There's nothing better than feeling the smooth limbs and trunk of a gum tree after it has shed its bark.
    Did you shimmy up and have a feel?

    There are quite a few red gums on the central coast too. Must be a coastal variety.

Windy August

Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale.  Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.

Big sky country 3

The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull!  But there is something of interest in the image.  These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today.  On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
