Photo of a suburban street lined with autumnal trees.

Photo of a jacaranda tree in full bloom on a roundabout.

Sweet acacia tries:
hopes to catch the hazy sun—
howling, winter laughs.

Photos of several gum trees leaning across from each other on an uphill track.

leaning into winter days—
evergreen gumtrees.

Photo of a weak winter sun filtering through pine trees.

Mid-morning bush walk:
winter sun finds hiding spot
