Another suburban #gumtree, featuring its unique trunk patterns, akin to typical army fatigues.

The different colour of bark patches are in fact varying layers that have aged over the months. The lighter shades, obvs, are the newer layers.

This beauty is at least 60 foot tall and has most likely been around for longer than most of us, even though it’s a relatively mid-aged tree, I’d suggest.

Many #gums live in excess of 200 years, I read with interest!

You should see these monumental trees in a bush setting. In numbers, they are breathtaking.

Osprey were out in full force this afternoon.

My sister sent me this glorious sight… a #SouthernRightWhale frolicking offshore (300 metres / 1000 foot), at #Portland in the State’s south-west region.

She told me this whale was active, just like this, for around 20 minutes, prior to sunset yesterday evening.

Southern right whales inhabit oceans south of the Equator and in 2009 the global population was estimated to be in the region of only 14,000. Source: wiki.

Just look at this king of the jungle!

I posted this many months ago, although I was in #Brighton #Australia again a week ago and retook this gorgeous #lion. Just had to share again!

It’s a beauty.

#magestic. #powerful.

Mid arvo observations…

There’s nothing quite like wafting steam rising from the warm road after a light drizzle.
