Another beautiful poem for this time of year
This Is the Time to Be Slow
by John O'Donohue
This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the wall
Until the bitter weather passes.

Two stunning, haunting scenes this #ThickTrunkTuesday by Joy Kachina Photography.
Joy captures the dying Miena Cider Gums of Tasmania—majestic even in decay. Endemic, endangered, and vanishing fast due to climate change.

The 'Forest Lodge Tree', an impressively tall river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) in the upper Glenelg River catchment in the heart of Gariwerd / The Grampians.
I laser-measured this tree at 48 m tall, 7.3 m in trunk girth at chest height, and 26 m in average canopy diameter.

And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing,

You know when #Abla’s in stealth mode, something’s up - she doesn’t bark if she thinks she’s got a chance of catching what she’s got her eye on.
Lucky for those kangaroos, they were in the neighbour’s paddock; they know she’s here. 🦘🦘🐕
