The Winter Road by onewing

The Winter Road

Yesterday we were in Rutherford because I had to go to Spotlight to buy a new sewing machine. Mine died some time ago and I have only just got round to purchasing a new one.

When we got home I collected Sharon, a pal of mine, as she was spending the night and having dinner at our house following day surgery. We took her home after breakfast this morning and then picked her up later to drive her to Shoal Bay where we were out with the walking group and out for lunch afterwards. Been a busy couple of days.

This photo was taken at Maitland on our way to Rutherford yesterday. My daughter always calls this the 'winter road' because it is the only road in our area where trees lose their leaves in winter. Most of the trees here are natives and retain their leaves.

It was a sunny day yesterday and the temperature reached 20 degrees. The same here today too as we were out with the walking group. It was so nice to have sunny warm days in winter after our bout of chilly weather.
That describes those trees very well! The rest of the landscape is so lush and green.
Why plant those not indigenous trees there?

Beautiful shot of your winter road. We have so many of these here, in fact all the roads on our estate seem to be winter roads ;-)

A lovely road with all those naked trees alongside it.

The trees on the right have the same shape. Great straight road.

I can see exactly why your daughter calls this the winter road….it looks very unlike Australia, you could be in the UK instead!

Beautiful scene- I always like a tree-lined road- leaves or no leaves.

Very nice leading lines and colors.

Beautiful in it’s winter look. It looks like a perfect spot to capture a David Hockney type of seasons series of shots.

Lovely scenery and capture.

Great capture with the bare trees and leading lines of the roadway.

@jacqbb I suppose they just want a mixture of trees instead of just natives.

After the chilly start to winter at the beginning of this month, the weather the last couple of days has been really sunny and warm.

What a fitting name. I'm thankful we've had some lovely blue skies too.
June 17th, 2022  
@kartia I am thankful we have had some warm days and blue skies the last few days too. I believe rain is on its way again soon though.
