This collections was inspired by Figtree's California Girls range - I have a jelly roll of this collection earmarked for a Thimbleblossom's "Hopscotch" quilt, and these threads in a 40wt would be perfect to piece or quilt.
I call this collection "Hopping to California".

A composite view of the Figtree Creek/Ross Creek marina. Overlapping frames, Holga 120CFN, textured film. The white streak: I stored the roll of film in a tin that had a hole in the top - this is a light leak - neon light through the hole. I'm surprised the damage was so confined - I expected very low contrast hence thought this would be a good roll to try texturing on.

On October 26th 2022 I discovered that a new galvanised walking track bridge had been built at the mouth of Browns Creek, where it enters the Manning River.
A wide concrete path leads to the bridge from the western end of Pitt and Nelson Streets near the old Peters Milk Factory Wharf.
The pathway and bridge allow new access in 2022 from the east across Browns Creek to the Taree Bicentennial Gardens, which up till now have been tucked away and underutilised on a peninsula between Browns Creek and the Manning River.
Presumably the path will eventually be continued east to the proposed future redevelopment of the old Peeress Butter Factory site fronting the Manning River. That project, which has been in the planning phase for many years, will potentially revitalise the historic Chatham Manning River front and will be known as 'Figtrees on the Manning'.
In the longer term it will also extend to Taree Recreation Centre at Chatham.
For now, the bridge gives access from Pitt and Nelson Streets west through the Taree Bicentennial Gardens.
Those who might explore a little further will find that the path through the gardens extends to a new walking cycling trail completed in December 2021 which links from under Browns Creek Bridge along the western side of Browns Creek through mangrove swamp forest and rainforest all the way to Muscio Park.
The figs are gone and the frost bitten leaves shriveled up. New replacement leaves are growing fast!
Fig tree at the Rio Frio Cave, helpfully labelled (though Ficus colubrinae is the spelling that most use these days). This is not a strangler fig.

This was one of the weirder things we had happen during Katrina. Before the storm, the fig tree had been standing straight up, full and bushy and about 15 ft. tall. During the storm, the wind flattened it from the middle outwards; afterward, it was just lying on the ground like a plant that hadn't been watered.
Womad is held at the Adelaide Botanic Park. One of my favourite things about the park is the giant Moreton Bay Fig Trees.
this is actually a fig tree, a local landmark. the sad thing is that its historical significance is that it was the location for slavetrading.
