NEVER camp under one or the whole family and the car could be wiped out. The whole tree can fall down in storms too - a huge Sydney gum took out the front porch of my house in Australia.....apart from that they are gorgeous!!!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896713537525930258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-69521372389309386492008-09-24T18:00:00.000+01:002008-09-24T18:00:00.000+01:00Love gum trees.

They are fragile tho in that limbs can split so easily in wind. Bit like figs actually. <BR/><BR/>Get out there - get up early and get those fabulous shots!

Son seul inconvénient : le miellat qui en coule et salit les voitures stationnées dessous<BR/><BR/>Tu te rends compte : déjà l'automne et moi qui n'ai vu passer ni le printemps ni l'été !Cergiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623905868861239570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-17570032957577709612008-09-24T09:34:00.000+01:002008-09-24T09:34:00.000+01:00With the nice autumn colours coming, I guess you c...With the nice autumn colours coming, I guess you can wait a bit with the b&w?PeterParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694538476960957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-45939646447503247942008-09-24T04:48:00.000+01:002008-09-24T04:48:00.000+01:00Any koalas?Any koalas?freefallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863000229609701796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-89052031723096030542008-09-23T19:44:00.000+01:002008-09-23T19:44:00.000+01:00Eeh bah gum, what a peculiar phenomenon (as we say...Eeh bah gum, what a peculiar phenomenon (as we say oop in't north!)Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112462990202280587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-69586910833377477792008-09-23T17:11:00.000+01:002008-09-23T17:11:00.000+01:00Correct me if I'm wrong.

THis photo reminded me of that. Gorgeous bark . I would love to run my hands over it. How about a night shot of it when it stops raining.<BR/>VVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.com
