This tree was ring barked. I presume the leaves that fell each autumn upset the occupants of the house since it fell on their precious carport.

What I do not understand is this constant worry about carbon and carbon trading which is meant to reduce carbon pollution (what a load of rubbish) and then the constant destruction of trees because they drop leaves onto carports, driveways and into backyard pools. I'm not saying these people give a care either way but does anyone?
I've always liked trees, I feel most myself when I am outside walking or doing things amongst them. I don't feel that many people feel the same.

I'm not taking pictures of twigs, rocks, leaves, water, trees or whatever else you see here.

When the items in front of me look right together, when they meet the edge of the viewfinder and look like they are meant to be there, the shutter goes click.

I beg to differ, plenty to see here.

You may of noticed I enjoy going for walks. There are a few resons for that and I will list the ones I can think of here but they are in no means in any order of importance.

"are you taking pictures for the council?"

"they need to clean this up"

"the bush is nice but it is such a mess, someone needs to clean it up" - passerby

"Did you find a lizard?"

"have you seen the wildlife photos at the museum?"
"you'd love them, they are amazing." - passerby

While this picture does look quite leafy the tree cutting sounds around here just keep on going. The trees you see are on the council strip which are not allowed to be touched, trees on people properties just keep on going.
I still think that humans have to knock everything down that is bigger than them unless they themselves built it.
Toyota Tree day, join in.

Kjell and I swapped prints 2 weeks ago and I received his print last week. It is a tranquil scene of ice, water and tree, it is a picture I wish I had taken.

Seriously, they do.
My young family has lived in this neighbourhood (Baulkham Hills, Sydney) for 6 or 7 years now and I have pretty much worked from home all that time. Well, except when I travelled away from home for 2-3 days a week for several months.

I am not sure why I keep coming back to this picture, I'll live with it for a while and figure it out, possibly not.
