This picture of  roadside vegetation was made on a recent  early morning poodlewalk with Kayla along Depledge Rd in Waitpinga  during the recent stormy conditions. Recent as in late September. 

We chose to walk along this road as the adjacent bushland provided us with some shelter  from  the  strong, gale force  south westerly winds battering the coast.   There was no traffic along the road,  and so we had it  to ourselves; apart from the usual rabbits, kangaroos  and foxes criss crossing Depledge  road.  

As it  was too wet to go walking through the bushland  we rambled up and down Depledge Road  seeking whatever  shelter we could find from the passing squalls.  Most of my time was spend looking at the piles of bark along the road side. The pink gums are currently shedding their bark,  and I kept wondering if  the piles of bark would provide me  with  the subject matter to  make abstractions.

An example:

I was working on the online abstraction exhibition at Encounters Gallery at the time.
