Wintry Blue gums - Maree

We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away. 
- Zhuangzi 


A few weeks ago we were still gripped in the icy throes of winter but the Blue gum trees (Eucalyptus) on our smallholding (Tarlton, Gauteng, South Africa) were already showing signs of new life, ready to shed their blue/grey leaves in exchange for brighter greens.

    Sometimes less is definitely best. Your blue gum trees are lovely.

      Thank you, and I agree Elva, the less one fiddles, the better!
