Very wet in Sydney these last few days. Just as the paperbarks like it.
#SydneyNature #trees #CentennialPark
A multitude of stately paperbarks growing in Centennial Park, Sydney, are flooded by recent heavy rains. The big pool of water in front reflects their beautiful form. The surrounding parkland is very green from the rain.

Want a bit of #Texture in your life 🤔 Paperbarks are so interesting especially when consider bark can be used for cooking, plate, home building, torches, wound dressing. Next time you see a Paperbark tree say Thanks.

Melaleucas, Ngurrungurrudjba billabong, Kakadu

Paperbarks, ghostly white trunks, lining the wetlands
For #BlueSkyArtShow, with the theme #Monochrome

A line of paperbarks fringing the wetlands around a billabong. Their trunks are ghostly white, foliage quite dark, and although the trunks are relatively straight their branches are quite twisted and contorted.

Little Lorikeet - the smallest of Australia’s lorikeets & endemic to Australia. Forages mostly on nectar & pollen of flowers preferring those growing at the tops of tall eucalypts & paperbarks.

Swamp paperbark gums. One of my favourite kinds of tree 🌳 I always feel like anything could happen in a grove of paperbarks, very eerie and mysterious

New research reveals that paperbarks, among other trees, host abundant, specialized, and metabolically active bark-dwelling microbial communities that modulate climatically relevant gases, including methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide.

Paperbarks are the most stunning trees! The way they reflect the light is fabulous!

A small flock of ibis roosting in a tree over water. Behind the at the water's edge is a dense row of paperbarks, trunks pale in the pre-dawn light and reflected in the water.

And the #paperbarks are doing their thang! It’s that time of year where the paperbarks (#Melaleuca) in my neighbourhood begin to shed their outer layers revealing their fresh new bark. Change for them is an ongoing process…. 🌿👋🏽😀

An arm of a billabong extends across the foreground and away to the right and the edge of the frame. On the left, leading down to the vanishing point, is a dense line of paperbarks growing along the bank, overhanging the water and reflected in it.

Oh to be a willow
bearing, gratefully
the weight of a hand
swooning, never tossing
a sneering bloom
but casting fringed
half glances at the
thick skinned paperbarks
all the while shielding
the frail & guilty
beneath her skirts

I spent some time with the paperbarks in my neighbourhood this morning. They remind me of change & renewal.

Quiet waterway
Ngurrungurrudjba billabong, Kakadu NP

#BlueSkyArtShow theme #Peaceful

#photography #landscape #waterscape #scape #nature #wetland #trees #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited
An quiet side-arm of a billabong fills the foreground and runs down the centre of the frame to a glimpsed distant horizon.. On the left and right, leading down to the vanishing point, is a dense vegetation: on the left, a line of paperbarks overhanging the water, and on the right a variety of mangroves, palms and other trees and shrubs. Both banks are dimly reflected in the brown, turbid water, leaving a bright reflected sky in the middle, leading down to the mouth where it joins a larger waterway.

I touched base with the trees, plants & birds in my neighbourhood park this morning & walked along part of the creek. I saw that tomatoes are growing in one section of the creek, the paperbarks looking splendid & the ibis (bin chicken) chicks have grown over the last few weeks.

Duck!

Plumed whistling ducks (Dendrocygna eytoni) & little egret at Ngurrungurrudjba billabong, Kakadu, NT

I love many things about this, but the momentary inelegance from graceful flying to calmly landed is best. Also egret.

#photography #nature #wildlife #ducks #NT #birds #humour #EastCoastKin
A flock of plumed whistling duck coming in to land on the bank of a billabong. A small flock is already gathered on the bank, together with a lone little egret, unconcerned at the ducks plummeting around it. The line of ducks themselves are frozen in mid-air, close to the ground but outlined against the sky in wing-braking poses that aren't as elegant as normal flight. Below and behind them the flat grassed wetland stretches away to a messy frieze of dull green paperbarks marking the edge of the high-water mark.

Abandoned egret #2, Ngurrungurrudjba

This Saturday's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Abandoned
You might have to click in to find it, though.

Panoramic shot across mostly still billabong water to green, grassy wetland punctuated with thickets of pandanus, reflected in the water. Further back still is a distant line of taller permanent paperbarks, and above the delicately tinted pink over blue of Venus' belt, just rising with the dusk. The sky and water occupy most of the image, the green wetland just a thin strip in the middle. Near the right hand edge of the picture a tiny, lone egret is standing at the water's edge.
