here in oz it’s still winter, but a hint of spring is in the air
these photos were taken within about 15 minutes at around 4 pm one afternoon this week
in this one, i tried to capture the quality of light filtering through the branches of a large gum tree
the sky was amazing, with the sunlight and the clouds interracting and changing all the time
[photos – rita summers]
just to show you what ‘the bush’ is like around st marys – here’s a photo of some wildflowers in the bush section of our block of land near mt elephant –
there are also a lot of banksia trees growing there, which look quite strange to anyone used to the vegetation in the northern hemisphere (myself included) –
next time i go out there i’ll take some more photos, as spring is just around the corner
who knows what will be growing there next …
one day we decided to drive over roses tier (behind ben lomond) to get to st marys from launceston
i tried to capture this first-time experience with my mobile phone from a moving car
try to imagine being on the trip yourself while watching this
please note that the above slideshow is about the experience rather than the photography
having said that, next time i’ll remember to take my camera
