No “glamorous” or “exotic” destination – photos taken within one 15 minute period, within 15 minutes easy walk of our inner suburban home.
In 2020 West Australians have had it very much easier than have most other humans, even most other Australians.

However, some healthy trees’ skin-shedding is a much more spectacular (and beautiful) process than is any healthy human’s.
