MtLawleyShire’s Hyde Park – Trees

I’m not sure there will be a Hyde Park calendar for 2016, but if there was, it would include some of these photos which are mostly of the park’s beautiful trees.  A most loved place, and definitely loved by me.

Trees form the park, the paths, the sense of being far, far away from the middle of a large city:

There are the Moreton Bay Figs:

 

living sculpture of woody coating unseen muscle:

 

they act as frames for the park’s restricted yet expansive vistas:

The plane trees are beautiful in all seasons,

 

but so gorgeous in Autumn:

 

 

 

The jacarandas:

 

The plane trees are frames for the ponds:

 

Then there are the trees on the islands in the ponds:

 

There are the ancient and massive:

 

there is a sense of wilderness:

& above all, there is a sense of the magic, the wonder, the mystery of light and shadow within trees:

  

It is one of my favourite places in this city.

MtLawleyShire 2016 calendars #4: waterdrops on roses

This is a ‘specialty’ post – I hae had one enquiry for such photos.  Doesn’t mean no-one else can enjoy them 🙂  Most of these would be included in a calendar.

Roses after rain.

Red:

 

 

 

Deeper red:

 

Yellow and apricot roses:

 

 

& one lone pink (that’s in my garden):

 

They are pretty.  It has not, I have learned on going through my photos, rained a lot this year at all 😦

But these are pretty 🙂

MtLawleyShire 2016 calendars #3 – Raindrops

Many people have asked about a calendar of raindrop photos, so here is a selection.  It’s been difficult choosing them.  Again, there are too many for one calendar, so these are the photos most likely to appear in a calendar.

raindrops on jasmine leaves:

 

 

 

jasmine flowers:

 

Jasmine tendrils:

 

rosemary flowers:

 

beautifying the dead ends of plants:

 

glowing on grass:

 

on small tree spines:

 

on bottlebrush:

 

on tulips:

 

 

on magnolia:

 

poppies & nasturtium:

 

There were so many to choose from.  I won’t be able to use all of these.  sigh.

If you want a calendar filled with raindrops, let me know 🙂
