Met a couple near the old tree today. The guy had a French accent. The girl was Swedish. Told them about my tree project which they found a bit curious. They knew zilch about photography. The guy had inherited an analogue Canon and a few lenses from his dad and wanted to start shooting, but it had to be digital so I told him to buy a Canon 1300 and a nifty fifty lens.
It's no question that I love trees, it was only on closer inspection that I realized those were not leaves or fruit but bats. And that fact was confirmed when they started dropping off, and flying when night fell...
Otherwise known as 'Blackboys', 'Grass trees' or 'Yacca', these slow growing plants can be take 600 years to reach 5m height. They often require a bush fire to stimulate flowering and can produce a flower spike up to 4m high. These were photographed at Deep Creek conservation park in South Australia

My first attempt at auto-bracketing and combining different exposures. Didn't have much to choose from, so I went with the neighbor's tree!
I'm not going to go out in the sub-zero weather and just shoot one shot of this tree. I'm always amazed that it's still standing.
