#12 A piece of nature observation
Dec. 14th, 2014 12:55 amWe are getting to the time of year that contains my favourite weather: blue skies and streaming sunshine and crisp air that turns you into a dragon and numbs your face just a little. I've been gently envious of the people getting frost - that doesn't seem to be a thing London is doing, just yet - but nonetheless I get bare branches and autoexfoliating plane trees and bark and bite to the air and -- yes. Yes. When first the air smells like ice, and such.

Date: 2014-12-18 10:56 pm (UTC)We are in the time of year where the sky is bleached pale and the hills are gold or brown. Reptiles are everywhere, basking in the heat--the humans get burned to a crisp if they try.
I went to the Australian National Botanic Gardens yesterday and will be posting the pictures soon. I made sure to stop by the Wollemi pines.
