on Halls Creek Rd

This picture of the trunk of a pink gum (Eucalyptus fasciculosa) was made whilst I was on an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla in early October this year. The picture was made  prior to the sun breaking through the cloud cover: 

The pink gums are situated at the low point of Halls Creek Rd. This  creek only runs when there has been  a very wet winter. This did not happen in 2019. 

This is another version of the pink gum trunk made on  the same walk ,  just after the sun came out: 

Halls Creek Rd is a part of the Heysen Trail in Waitpinga. It has minimal  vehicle traffic and this  makes for a pleasant walk.  Kangaroos and snakes (in summer) are the main problem.
