Sunday Stills: {Seasonal Cycle of Trees}

The theme for this week’s Sunday Stills is {Trees and Leaves}

Wherever you look in Australia, you are sure to find a gum tree or a few, except perhaps, among the red dunes of the Simpson Desert. Here, where I live in Tasmania, we are surrounded by hills and mountains thick with gum trees. Our 50 acres of farmland has just 20% Eucalyptus forest which we will never touch except to remove saplings growing too close to our house. As much as I love our gum trees, there are many other trees that are special to me as well. I love to witness the changing of seasons through deciduous trees. Here are a few I have found since moving here.
