On the run

It has been so windy today that this tree looks as though it is on the run.

All the leaves I swept up two days ago from our patio and put in the dustbin have been replaced by their relatives today!!!

Ah, wonderful! It looks a bit like the comic character "Billy the Whizz"

It's a very dramatic looking tree - so much movement.

it looks like a dancer with bum sticking out, one arm in the front and one arm back. So much fun!

It was really windy yesterday afternoon, been windy for days here and when we woke this morning we discovered a large and heavy branch had come off our gum tree, weakened by the wind . Fortunately it didn't cause any damage, just missed the car in the garage .

That is a great shape. Obviously had a hard life!!!

What a great shape, the tree certainly appears weathered.

Great capture, Babs- that is one gnarly tree! Love it!!

It does look like it could be a character from a children's film/book!

Wow this is stunning capture, Babs!!

Beautiful silver colour, very Lord of the Rings. I think the moral of the story is never rush out to sweep up leaves because sometimes they blow away again (into the neighbours garden)

Awesome tree. Looks like it has weathered its share of storms. Great capture!

@paulaw Thanks Paula very Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately we have quite a few trees on our property and although none are deciduous some of the leaves do shed in strong winds and when it is dry weather, so it is a bit like perpetual motion sometimes.

@joluise Wow, you were lucky, we have a huge blackbutt tree and I often wonder when some it will drop off!!
