tree, Hindmarsh Estuary

Made in 2010 whilst I was on a poodlewalk around the estuary of the Hindmarsh River in Victor Harbor, South Australia. 

The Melaleuca is still there, but it  is  different as it   lost a lot  of its foliage. 


Lake Alexandrina

From 2010

We were on a drive around Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert

Currency Creek

Currency Creek  is one of the places that Suzanne, myself and the standard poodles sometimes  go to for a bit of an outing. It's a pleasant walk alongside the creek up to the boundary of the  farmland.   This picture was made in 2010. 

The creek flows into Lake Alexandrina. Currency Creek is more  known for its cemetery and wineries these days.   

3 trunks

This scene is on  a part of the Heysen Trail in Waitpinga. I often walk along this section on a poodlewalk  as it is a strip of bush between farmland. 

I thought that working on this tree project that was working towards a photobook  was a waste of time. Then I came across the Melbourne Photobook collective  and William Stewart's On the Making of Trees-- which is an article about the process of making a photobook based on him  photographing trees over a number of  years.  

Tree, Halls Creek Rd

This picture was made whilst walking along Halls Creek Rd, Waitpinga  on a poodlewalk.   Halls Creek Rd is a part of the Heysen Trail 

Waitpinga is in South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula.   

pines, Waitpinga

Some old pines in an agricultural fields Jagger Rd:

This is a road I travel on in the Subaru Forester  to take the poodles for their  walks on the back country roads.  

pink gum, Waitpinga

This picture was made whilst walking along  Baum Rd, Waitpinga,  on an afternoon poodle walk in 2012:

It is a pink gum. Waitpinga is in  the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia.

tree, Midlands, Tasmania

A tree in the agricultural landscape of the Midlands in Tasmania:

The photo was made in 2011. It started raining soon after the photo was made.

 

tree, Safety Beach

This  picture was made at Safety Beach on the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne, Victoria  in 2010:

It was an overcast afternoon and IU was walking along the path along the foreshore. 

tree, Waitpinga

This is another  local tree. It is  on the roadside of a country road in Waitpinga, South Australia that I often walk down.   The road is Baum Rd. 

The  picture was made in 2016 whilst I was on an early  morning  poodlewalk.

I discovered last night that Sophie Cunningham  has a tree of the day Instagram account.  Mary Macpherson   has a book of trees in New Zealand called Bent.  I am sure that there are other photographers photographing tree apart from Beth Moon.
