Mist settles on Bransdale Ridge over North Yorks Moors's Botany Bay, I'm looking back north-east along my covered line of travel. From here I made a low visibility crossing through Black Holes continuing south-west to drop down to Fangdale Beck and back to Friendly Chop Gate. Truly wonderful names in the North York Moors. A great day's tramping over the high moors 14 miles in all.
這是抵達澳洲時
在FB發的第一張打卡照
周五夜心血來潮
用電腦重新調整了一下
左向右兩片海灘
分別是卧龍崗市的Wattamolla Beach
以及皇家國家公園的Marley beach
而本班機正轉向至畫面右方的植物學灣
我們即將降落
緊鄰此灣的雪梨國際機場
小知識時間 以下節錄自維基
植物學灣 Botany Bay
1770年4月29日
在完成紐西蘭沿海航行後
詹姆斯·庫克上校搭乘努力號帆船抵達此處
並從這裡踏上了澳洲大陸
隨後此處成為了英國政府的計劃流放地
但第一批歐洲移民
最終選擇了植物學灣稍北的雪梨灣作為定居點
然後不是蘋果執行長那個庫克

Leo Lionni (1910-1999) is best known as the author and illustrator of forty children's picture books including the Caldecott Honor recipients Inch By Inch (1961), Swimmy (1964), Frederick (1968), and Alexander And The Wind-Up Mouse (1970). In addition to his children's work, Lionni worked in advertising, was the art director of Fortune magazine for twelve years, and was a well regarded painter and sculptor. Parallel Botany (1977) is his only book length fiction for adults.

Standing along Route 162 and facing eastward. And we're still on the grounds of the Annivesta Missionary Baptist Church.
The intruding tree branch at right foreground excepted, how many Quercus virginiana specimens festooned with Tillandsia usneoides do you see standing by the fence in front of the church?
Or, to translate from BotaniSpeak, how many Southern Live Oaks draped with Spanish Moss do you see there?
For years after taking this photo I assumed there was just one, with an excellent rounded crown, a most noble example of its species.
But then I checked this site on Google Earth Street View. It turns out that there two trees lined up almost perfectly along this line of sight. The nearer one leans toward the camera; the farther, away from it. And when grouped together, they form a greater whole.
I suspect I realized that when I snapped the photo. It certainly would explain why I took the shot from this distance and angle, and why the offending tree branch couldn't be avoided. Had I stepped in front of it, the whole composite tree wouldn't have fit in the frame. But being a naturalist rather than a purveyor of the prettily perfect, I took the shot anyway.
If you perform the Google Earth check I did, you'll see that these two trees are still here. But they seem to be in pretty bad shape, which I would guess is due to at least one hurricane that has hit the Coastal Plain since I ventured by.
The other photos and descriptions of this series can be found in my Botany of the Carolinas Coastal Plain album.
