The Tree!

Next door neighbour had this tree in the backyard which was dying and was swaying about in the wind back in November.  Maybe it could land in our backyard or over the back fence and damage the mans garage.  Anyway it was cut down.  These photos were taken from my back door. 







Then cut level with the ground or near enough, I looked over the fence.

Merry Christmas 2025

Merry Christmas to all.  Hoping you have a wonderful one and much joy to you and your families.  

The photo below is of a Poinsettia tree growing naturally a long way from my home in the city of Mackay in Queensland.  I had never seen Poinsettias growing like this.  The tree has been removed as I noticed it was gone the last time we stayed there a few years back.



The above photo was taken at Swansea here in Tasmania, Australia on the East Coast.
The photo below is of the old restored flour mill at Oatlands here in Tasmania where I was born. The mill is now a Whiskey distillery. Callington Mill had an illegal whisky distillery in 1837.


The photo below is of the Tamar River in the city where I live, Launceston, there is a walkway beside the river for a little way.
