They were heading north into the muscly old branches.

This tree was a fantasia tree. The children got all Avatar, I started channelling Lewis Carol's 'Jabberwocky' and the abandoned thongs just spelled Picnic at hanging rock. Don't you love a really good tree- for- all?
Where do you come up with this stuff? Honestly, if all this amazingness was swilling around in your head, and you've only now found the release for it (blogging), I am SO GLAD you did! How wonderful are those photos??!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great climbing tree! (Mirandaaaaa!)
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing tree.
ReplyDeleteI'd love that in my backyard.
A tree-for-all ... I agree with Anna!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I bet that tree was thrilled to see your lot. It was made for climbing!
I think I know this tree- we ate fish and chips sitting in it a few months back. I think there is a geocache hidden somewhere near the base, we were very impressed. The art installation looked so inspiring too, especially for the kids. I love visiting Redcliffe- what a treat for you to have such an outing with all the gang. melx
ReplyDeleteAnna: All those years my head was exploding and now I have somewhere safe to put it.
ReplyDeleteCC: THAT was her name! Thanks!
DMC: It would be your entire yard! Grandchild heaven!
MMMC: I believe the tree was a little nervous at first and then relaxed and embraced us.
Bungalowgirl: How lovely to have a mutual tree friend!
