With the drying weather and no subsoil the gum trees are losing their leaves in large numbers, the patterns they make are quite interesting and this is what I was looking at while walking last night.I have a dreadful worry that we are going to lose a lot of old and mature trees this year and the gums on the hills faces will be particularly vulnerable. We lost a lot in the 1982/3 drought and this year is far far worse.
On a brighter note we went to the first of the Christmas parties for lunch yesterday, a gorgeous day, blue sky, not too hot and a breeze with lots of people to catch up with.

Canberra is losing lots of trees, quite old ones too. I was cutting stuff back in the garden today, so plants don't have so much to maintain.
I love these patterns that falling leaves make. I don't know how a printed textile designer could run out of inspiration with all the patterns nature gives us.
