Tree

Posting early today. I am preparing for a routine colonostomy tomorrow morning.

I love trees. The diversity is astounding, even within the same genus. Imagine over 700 species of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae. Most species of Eucalyptus are trees, often mallees, and a few are shrubs. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus]
On a bright winter day, I used my 12mm ultra wide lens, getting as close to the tree as I could. The location is Fawkner Park [ https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/community/parks-open-spaces/major-parks-gardens/Pages/fawkner-park.aspx]

Thanks for your view, comments and favs for "Clouds". Greatly appreciated.

Grateful for all blessings

What a gorgeous tree! I love the way trees outlive us by hundreds of years so often. A sign of longevity and transience all at once.

Hope all went well with your colonoscopy! I was told I have a “torturous and redundant” colon! How insulting but real name. :)
