Spotted gum, an endemic Australian tree, is one of my favourites. Its bark creates artwork that no artist can match. Well, that’s just my humble opinion. 🙂
Some close-ups…
I was tempted to peel off some of the bark… 🙂
It’s heartbreaking to watch on TV the raging bushfires across Australia destroying not only these beautiful trees, but also wild life and human properties. Spare a thought for everyone affected by this disaster, especially the heroic fire fighters . <)
Happy New Year everyone! And stay safe if you live in Australia in areas affected by the bushfires! ❤

Avoir une télécommande pour la vie

Reculer… Pour modifier certaines choses…
Avancer… Pour obtenir certaines choses plus rapidement..
La touche Effacer… Certaines erreurs ou certains mauvais moments
La touche Pause… Pour profiter du moment présent…
La touche couper le son …Pour ne plus entendre les mauvaises choses…
la touche Enregistrer…Pour revivre tous Les bons moments
La touche envoie et je presse sur celle-ci pour te présenter tous mes vœux pour l’année 2020
Avec du bonheur de la joie de l’amour au sein de ta demeure et surtout la santé que tu puisses profiter des meilleurs moments de la vie avec tes proches ta famille tes amies et amis du net et que tout ce ui suit

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song, Ivor. Those of us who live in safe areas can only pray… New Year’s Eve was terrible and this coming Saturday is predicted to be even worse. I’ve been listening to talk back radio, people are being instructed to leave their properties now and move to safer areas.

Thank you so much, Resa. Australia has lovely trees. There are snow gums with lovely colourful bark in the Snowy Mountains. They are now on fire.

Irina — I tried to reply earlier today but for some reason, it would not take. I love the unique creative masterpiece of each tree’s bark markings. Lifting prayers for Australia’s scorching wildfires to be contained soon; and for wildlife, nature, people and their surroundings. May your new year overflow with an abundance of blessings. Thank you for sharing your first Sunday Tree.

Beautiful tree. It looks like some one painted it then turned it into a collage.
I’ve never seen a tree like this before. Thanks for sharing.
My condolences on the forest fires.

Yes our gum trees are majestic and create their own art … but they also add to the current fire danger as they act like inflamants 🙂
Take care, where are you?
