Old bloke flowering

In the general theme of trees I was somewhat struck by this old dryland tea-tree–opposite Mark’s place, on the Nora Creina road, you probably remember it. It has grown away from the prevailing winter gales, over a long time, and has fallen over–but here it is again, still flowering, getting seeds ready for the autumn rains–which one hopes will arrive on time.  If you are feeling reflective today it may have its symbolic side–or not, as the case may be! Just a lovely old tree.

  1. Truly an Elder – quite beautiful, and looks to me like it has many years of good health ahead. Maybe falling over was a saving grace!
