Another pink flower. Red Gums have pink or red flowers.
Endemic to the South-West of Western Australia.
Corymbia.
I am recovering from Covid.
Native to a very small area of south coastal Western Australia, the aesthetics of the red flowering gum have made it one of the most widely planted landscape and garden trees around the world in subtropical and tropical areas.
Have a good one

GUM - Russia's oldest shopping center In the heart of Moscow, on Red Square, is the oldest and most famous shopping center in Russia.
Brilliant bubble gum pink colored Early Spring Azalea (Rhododendron prinophyllum "Marie Hoffman") flowers. These are the blooms from the buds below. :)

Background graduation is due to the ‘heel effect’ where the tungsten target in the X-ray tube itself partly filters the beam it produces, fewer X-rays, higher energies, reduced image contrast towards the right of the screen which is furthest from the cathode.
Smile on Saturday! :-) In the Style of Hans Heysen
Hans Heysen is one of Australia's best known artists . Most of his paintings are of the Australian bush . He was born in Germany 1877 and died in 1968 . ( We live on Heysen Ave. ) Many of the streets in our area are named after painters .
GUM (Russian: ГУМ, pronounced [ˈɡum], an abbreviation of Russian: Главный универсальный магазин, tr. Glávnyj Universáľnyj Magazín, literally "Main Universal Store") is the main department store in many cities of the former Soviet Union, known as State Department Store (Russian: Государственный универсальный магазин, tr. Gosudárstvennyj Universáľnyj Magazín) during the Soviet era. Similarly-named stores were found in some Soviet republics and post-Soviet states.

Catherine II of Russia commissioned Giacomo Quarenghi, a Neoclassical architect from Italy, to design a huge trade center along the east side of Red Square. The existing structure was built to replace the previous trading rows that had been designed by Joseph Bove after the 1812 Fire of Moscow.
By the time of the Russian Revolution of 1917, the building contained some 1,200 stores. After the Revolution, the GUM was nationalised.
[...]
With the façade extending for 794 ft (242 m) along the eastern side of Red Square, the Upper Trading Rows were built between 1890 and 1893 by Alexander Pomerantsev (responsible for architecture) and Vladimir Shukhov (responsible for engineering).

Vue intérieure :
The beauty of these eucalypts in the morning sun would have made the entire 13.5 km bushwalk in the Freycinet National Park worthwhile in itself. I felt a genuine thrill when I saw the way the sunlight highlighted the freshly exposed new bark as the older layers had been shed and lie on the forest floor. Nature renewing herself. I'm not a tree hugger, but I could easily hug these beauties.
If you enlarge this shot you'll see the scribbles on the bark from which the trees get their name. The latest scientific information on this was discovered by Australia's premier science agency, CSIRO:
"The ‘scribbles’ on scribbly gums are an icon of the Australian bush, but until recently very little was known about the cause of these distinctive scribbles. A team of CSIRO researchers were the first to uncover the mechanism by which the scribbles are made, along with the biology and lifecycle of the moths responsible. In the process they described eleven new species of moth and redrew how the Ogmograptis species fit into the moth family tree."

If you want to do some further research on these trees I suggest you take a look at this comprehensive guide: www.fpa.tas.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/110419/For...
Red sap oozes out of the bark, hence red gum. The ants must have been getting nectar.
I went for a short walk in the bush the red gum had just started flowering but not much else.
Gum tree.
It stands tall like a silent sentinel watching over it's domain.
As for the cloud formation, nothing.
No rain.

This was nearing the end of a long day out with the camera. It started with the alarm call at 2.30 am and a dash down to Talacre Lighthouse in North Wales for a sunrise, that sadly was an underwhelming affair. A detour to catch a waterfall shot at Plas Power Wood on the way back North before later heading for a walk in the Lake District.
I went up Gummers How in the hope of catching some late light and had better luck than sunrise at least! There were quite a few folk taking in the evening light on the ridge at Gummers How, but no photographers, which was a little surprising.
Any way, the views from up here across the length of Lake Windermere are very good with the Western and Central Lake District Fells as a nice backdrop. It was a most unusual summer sunset with low cloud streaming over the Old Man of Coniston and Dow Crag just after I took this shot. Here the sun is setting directly behind those Mountains, bathing the side of Gummers How in golden light, I tried a number of settings and this was actually shot at f22, purely to try and get a nice sunburst.
I stayed on well after sunset before returning down and I got some nice red after glow too which I may post at some point!
Love these trees & love watercolour so for Smile on Saturday: in the style of Albert Namatjira.
Albert Namatjira (1902–59) was born into the Arrernte community at the Hermannsburg Lutheran Mission, near Alice Springs, Northern Territory.
"The story of Albert Namatjira is possibly the most widely known of any Australian artist. In One short lifetime his story encapsulated the experience of Aboriginal ambition, Aboriginal excellence and Aboriginal adaptation to a new world while met equally with the experiences of Aboriginal disempowerment and Aboriginal disadvantage." (Bruce Johnson Mclean)
"He painted Ghost gums with luminous white trunks, palm-filled gorges and red mountain ranges turning purple at dusk."
Perhaps if he had been a Gundungurra or Dharug man (included in the Blue Mountains) he would have painted Scribbly Gums.
