The Weekly Prompts Photo Challenge: The Tree
The Ragtag Daily Prompt Saturday: Joy
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Item with two M’s
I was in a dilemma. Should I go down to the bottom part of my property and see what had happened there with the fire. I am glad I did as I found somethings that had survived and gave my joy, one of which was the big Tallowwood tree. You would need three or four people encircling the tree, arms outstretched and hands touching to gauge it’s size. The tree is about forty meters tall.
I know it’s not strictly black and white but the burnt forest has a bit of a sepia tone about it.
Wow, glad it survived, Brian 😁

Me too Jez. I was worried it didn’t and there is a huge Spotted Gum near it which survived too.

The fires are very close. In fact the only part of my property that isn’t burnt is around my house

I have a fair bit of counrty to explore to find out what’s here and what’s gone so it will be a while. I walked a good bit the other day as so many tracks have trees over them. It will take ages to cut them off so I can drive deeper into the bush. I know there are quite a few who have crashed and some that are still standing xx

More good news from the fires. (I’m reading your posts backwards in Reader, it’s like knowing a book has a happy(ish) ending before getting into it.)
