This tree frog was on our privacy fence in the backyard and was resting midday in the shade. He held very still as I took a manual 10 shot stack with my Z9 and Nikon 200mm f4.
For all my childhood we had a wire and plastic Christmas tree from Woolworths. Always the same one, taken out of the box in December. Now I am grown up I can have a real tree, that smells of Christmas ... mmm. With edible gingerbread ornaments from IKEA.

An old Angophora near Betka Beach. The Shire Council cut down a similar sized one estimated at 400 years old, a few years back in the Caravan Park because it dropped a limb. Hopefully this one will outlive the Shire Council.

Today was a long and exhausting day … two presentations to finish off my courses and 3 hours in the GIS lab room helping students (the presentations I expected as I prepared for them quite nicely, but the Q&A from the students I TA … well, that was a bit unexpected). A knock on the door from a student, who even ever so kindly warned me that if I enter the lab room to answer his question I would probably never leave and may even regret it, lol :P.
I took the risk and entered … and yes, as expected, there was no way out! … I didn't end up leaving the lab until past 8PM … and after a day like today, I was too tired to be creative for a photo.
As I walked home in the dark, I looked up and envisioned something artistic despite being drained. The original photo was dark and drab, but after applying some filters, I was able to highlight the focus of my shot and the bring out the tree branches … I wanted to capture the glow in the night sky from the street light to signify what many students have been going through in the final weeks of classes: "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when we start several tasks and leave them hanging. But, with the term coming to an end, each task will soon be completed and the light at the end of the tunnel is within our reach."

Many of the redwood trees in this area top 300 feet in height! The tree in the center left has a big cavity and still lives. Wilbur provides scale even though he wouldn't quit moving. He had his own plans for photography to fulfill. Imagine that!
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
Another from my 2017 summer project searching out significant trees in our local woods-Honley Wood in this case.
Cypress alley in Salona. It was very nice place for walking :)
Salona was an ancient city and capital of Roman province on the Dalmatian coast located in modern-day Croatia and it's situated near today's town of Solin, about 5 km from Split. Under the Romans, Salona was the political centre of the Dalmatia region, reaching its peak under Emperor Diocletian who built his palace in Split. Huns and Goths swept down in the middle of the 5th century announcing the end of Roman rule. Salona wound up in the Eastern Roman Empire but in 614 the Slavs and Avars moved in and levelled the town to the ground. The most impressive ruin is the 2nd-century amphitheatre which was destroyed by the Venetians in the 17th century. At one time it could accommodate 18,000 spectators and who knows how many gladiators fighting bears. Also interesting is the Manastirine, a burial place for early Christian martyrs (torn apart by lions?) which is part of an archaeological reserve which includes the Tusculum Museum. Other remains from the early Christian period include the remains of a cemetery basilica that dates from the 4th century and the ruins of a three-nave cathedral with an octagonal baptistery. You'll notice remains of a covered aqueduct from the 1st century, public baths and other ancient churches. There's also a small museum near the entrance which sometimes has informative leaflets.

Alejka cyprysowa w Salonie. Urocze miejsce na spacer :)
Nieopodal Splitu znajdują się ruiny starożytnego miasta Salona, stolicy rzymskiej prowincji Dalmacji. Nazwa pochodzi od wydobywanej w okolicy soli. Obecna nazwa miasta to Solin. Pierwsze wzmianki o Salonie pochodzą z 119 r. p.n.e. Pod panowaniem Rzymian (od I w. p.n.e.) stała się największym i najbogatszym miastem środkowej Dalmacji. Liczba mieszkańców dochodziła do 50-60 tysięcy. Miasto otoczone było wysokimi murami z 88 basztami. Początkowo miała kształt trapezu jednak silny rozwój spowodował jego zmianę. Około 240 roku w Salonie urodził się przyszły cesarz rzymski Dioklecjan, którego ruiny pałacu w Splicie stoją do dnia dzisiejszego. W V w. Salona została najechana przez Hunów i Gotów, jednak już w VI w. przeszła pod władanie Bizancjum. O wiele gorzej dla Salony zakończył się w 614 roku najazd Awarów i Słowian. Uciekający mieszkańcy Salony znaleźli schronienie w Pałacu Dioklecjana. Do największych i najlepiej zachowanych pozostałości, które możemy zobaczyć w miejscu dawnej salony należą: największy wczesnochrześcijański cmentarz na otwartej przestrzeni, na którym pochowano m.in. św. Dujama (Dominjusza) oraz 3-kondygnacyjna bazylika, wybudowana w V w., ogromny, mieszczący 17-18 tys. osób amfiteatr z II wieku, centrum diecezjalne (zbudowane po wydaniu edyktu mediolańskiego w 313 roku, oparte na dwóch bazylikach, baptysterium (wraz z ośmioboczną chrzcielnicą) oraz pałacu biskupim), termy, 5-cio łukowy most oraz część murów miejskich.
