Keep walking

rocky path up th eMount Remarkable summit in South Australia

Sticks, stones, rocky roads,
a tough clamber to the top—
Hiker’s high at peak.

New life

photo of a hollowed out gumtree with fallen trees around it - on the Mt. Remarkable summit trail in South Australia — On the way up Mount Remarkable in South Australia

Graveyard of gumtrees—
on remarkable mountain,
regeneration.

Gum nut

closeup photo of the red gum flower on a gumtree surrounded by gum nuts and leaves — Kings Park and WA botanic garden

Flaunting a red skirt,
Cinderella of the trees—
eucalypt blossoms.

Mischief

three lean gum trees in a row, all with slightly crooked barks

The three musketeers
seek adventure in a park—
tall mischievous gums.

Bearer

a gumtree bark, branches, leaves, and the blue skies above, as seen from below

Pillars of our earth
holding the skies up, earth down;
solid old timber.
