Marri

The Marri, in full bloom, was seen on a drive home from the market. I stopped the car and pulled off a few long branches to put into a vase when I arrived home.

The tree was destined to be knocked down that week to make way for a dual carriage way and the 'dozers were already on site.

I had driven along Gnangara Road for decades, seeing seasonal changes and loving the blooms in Spring.

Now, the leisurely drive is no more. Everyone travels at speed along the new highway and never see the remaining trees beyond.
