Venman National Park 2

Let’s keep going with the photos. Here is more of Venman Park and what I saw there.

Three trunks

I don’t know what species these pale pinkish trunks belong to. Perhaps a box species. Many Australian trees lose all or most of their bark, though they don’t lose their leaves seasonally so where I live there is no obvious Autumn. Winter is usually not very cold either.

Resurrection

This shows the incredible resilience of eucalypts. It’s a tree that has fallen over and resurrected itself from a branch that short straight upwards.

Grass Species

I love the gracefully arching stems of this grass with it’s dark brown seed heads.

Bark 1

Many gum trees (eucalypts), when much of the bark has fallen and fragments remain, remind me of abstract paintings. I’m not the first photographer to love making images of patterns in their bark.

Fallen leaves can be beautiful no matter where you go in the world. Here is some eucalypt leaf litter.

A stalwart tree.
