Abstracty photograph of light through the wet casaurina needles - the droplets light up like gems

Yes I love dew drops on casaurina -- I am sure there will be some somewhere in my blog. I remember they referred to casaurina as Australian Pines when I was in Burmuda. Before I heard that name I remember looking at them and thinking, those trees look awfully familiar -- like seeing all the eucalypt trees in California.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cool. It reminds me of my motorcycle ride home in the rain tonight. My lenses were splattered with raindrops and everything looked like a little explosion.
ReplyDeleteJoan, it's interesting to hear that when you were in Bermuda they were referred to as Australian Pines...we're taught at school how casaurinas were imported from Australia after the cedar blight which killed off the local endemic cedars in the 1940s, and a quick growing tree was needed as a replacement to prevent soil erosion, habitat for birds, wind breaks for newly planted seedlings etc. But I think that generally now people refer to them as casaurinas.
ReplyDeleteNYD - I wonder if they were your eyeglass lenses or a camera lens splattered with raindrops - I'm not sure which would be worse- seeing only explosions or a very soggy camera!
Was probably just our tour guide who called them Australian Pines. Here they are just as often called She Oaks as Casuarinas.
