Guard of Trees

Unusual feature at the Enchanted Maze Garden, Arthurs Seat on the Mornington Peninsula


guarding the garden
like mini broccoli trees
in quiet still lines

Prompt: Red

Presence in a Cemetery

For this TT post, I decided to break away from my usual research indulgence and consider the whole "context" of one cemetery.
This is a view of Flinders Cemetery on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula..
Each time I have wandered here, I have felt the trees add a distinct "Australian painting" presence.


The trees seem like grand mothers, gently nurturing the souls who rest here.




A soft, quiet place
Where the white boughs of Nature
Are the earth angels

The Beauty of Trees

Winter trees


Trees on Crittendon Winery driveway, Dromana


Farm at Red Hill

The beauty of trees
Textured trunks and spindly boughs
Seasonal colours

Clarity

Dense changing colours 
Twisting ragged confusions
Shadowed glimpse of light

But as you live life
Cling to visions and purpose
Keys to clarity

The colours of leaves
Like whispering jewellery

Tree Trunk Patterns and Textures

A variety of patterns and textures in the shedding bark!
I am always fascinated by the huge range of features in the trunk of gum trees!

Carry on Tuesday #48 ~ presented by Keith's Ramblings
This week our prompt is the opening line from the 2008 novel Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella:
How long have I been awake? Is it morning yet?
~

I see epic floods
I feel yearning for star worlds
I hear silent ships

I see yesterdays
Marchers in uniformed lines
No muddied boots yet

My own yesterdays
Urban gypsy rural dreams
Freedom of bare feet

I sense sailing moon
How long have I been awake
Is it morning yet

Urban Greens

It is wonderful to see that urban living is not a reason to ignore the scenic and health advantages of trees.
