We eventually left the open country and got among the trees.  Their trunks are fresh creamy yellow because they have recently shed their bark.


  1. It's like entering an entirely new landscape after the trees have shed their bark, isn't it? It's our equivalent of 'fall' I think.

  2. Really yellow. Isn't nature wonderful how it uses the full spectrum of colours? :)

    1. There are some really surprising colours in nature, especially among the flowers. Fluro colours brighter than those worn by the hard hat guys.

  3. Those tree trunk colours are quite something :D)

Blue Wren

Musing:The Blue Wrens and the Butcher Bird by Judith Wright
"Sweet and small the blue wren
whistles to his gentle hen,
"The creek is full, the day is gold,
the tale of love is never told.
Fear not, my love, nor fly away,
for safe, safe in the blackthorn-tree
we shall build our nest today.
Trust to me, oh trust to me."

Cobwebs they gather and dry grass,
greeting each other as they pass
up to the nest and down again,
the blue wren and the brown wren.
They seek and carry far and near,
down the bank and up the hill,
until that crystal note they hear
that strikes them dumb and holds them still.

Great glorious passion of a voice--
sure all that hear it must rejoice.
But in the thorn-bush silent hide
the nest-builders side by side.
