Beginnings

Tiny shoots of spring—
I raise my camera high,
to new beginnings.

Photo of a gumtree with peeling skins and raggedy branches

A cacophony:
twigs, dry leaves-bearing branches—
building a bird’s nest.

Life support

Oxygenating,
permeating through the air—
trees grow us humans.

Attractive

photo of spider flowers, also called grevillia, a native tree of Australia

Laws of attraction:
drawing in those who pass by—
flowering spiders.

Stance

Explodes from hard earth,
commanding the air around,
Moreton bay fig.
