Jolly or macabre
A dead tree on Norton Street adorned with baubles; jolly or macabre?

Humming tree
There were three trees in the backyard when we moved in almost one year ago. The tree fern was already dead, the pine tree quickly followed, and the ficus-like one above had been heavily pruned. For the past couple of weeks bees have been busily collecting from clusters of creamy white flowers. The humming sound and being showered with pollen while sitting at the table below has been a rare treat.
From the bus stop
If someone had told me, when I was young, that I would one day leave the cool northern hemisphere climate, my birthplace, I wouldn’t have believed them.
Why would I want to trade in grey, cloudy skies, and drizzly rain that clings to your clothes and hair?
This morning I find myself sitting at the bus stop. Across one of the busiest roads in Sydney I see: a blue sky; lush green leafed trees; and a palm tree.

More than a tree
Clustered Solomonic columns,
Writhing; frozen in fibrous form.
Weatherworn-grey strips fall away;
Presenting rich Indian red.
Serene sentinel stands, solemn;
Confetti-strewn leaves all around.
Tree, Sydney, Australia.
Noble nobbles
I’m drawn to the noble nobbles protruding from the trunk of this tree. We pass it on our circumnavigation of Petersham Park, Sydney, Australia.
Glimpse of a realm
Is it a trick of the light?
Wishful thinking?
Or a glimpse of an unseen realm?
I like to think this green man or tree spirit allowed me to see him in Petersham Park, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Yuletide reminder
Sydney, Australia, is in that Spring phase when it’s warm one day (22oC) and chilly the next (17oC).
On the cooler days the red and green of this gum tree remind me of Yuletide in northern hemisphere.
