Last week we had someone from the OSU (Oregon) arboretum come visit. The previous owners planted trees extensively across parts of the property and we now have an arboretum-like space of fairly mature trees. A lot of excitement from the visitor and plans for more visits.

This comes at a time when we've recently learned the city has started planning an additional access road "north of the cemetery" to a subdivision they want to expand. In other words, right through this property. A small thing in the scheme of what's happening in the world but it is looming large to us and land we've consciously left undeveloped.

A few shots taken at the Arboretum on an bright autumn day. Final.

One of my most favourite trees - and spots - in Canberra. It never fails to hold a moment of awe for me and the vista beyond and all around it. Very special nod to mother nature 💪 .
