"Bloodwood" audiovisual revamp

This is the first half of a slideshow on bloodwood. The scenery is from around Central Australia and particularly the bush around Alice Springs and between Alice Springs and Hart's Range, NT

.

The tune is an original composition by an Australian, Dan Gordon. Fiddle and bodhran playing, as well as the photography and clip making, by me ... tee hee hee!

 

The significance of the Bloodwoods coming into flower in such abundance is that the trees, hither-to hidden in the mellieu of the bush, become hugely apparent.

 

The gumnuts of this tree (after they have lost their seeds to the ground) are very good for beading into necklaces and things ... and the trees are generally very bountiful (insects and birds) when they are in flower ... sigh!

 

I made this audiovisual I think on Windows Video Maker? in June 2011 ... when my fiddle playing was a tad better than my photography. There are a lot of memories in this you just cannot see ... tee hee hee!
