Casuarina (she-oak) foliage

Who cares what variety it is in that kind of setting? It's so beautiful, I wouldn't even stop to think about it. :-P

It is a great spot - whenever I hear the sound of the wind through she-oaks now, I am transported back to this beach which was my favourite when I was growing up.

Oh Wow, Paradise Bernieh, Thats a great pic..

Thanks Youngdaisydee. This was the scene just last weekend down in my home town - towards the end of winter the town gets a lot of tourists from the southern states who are escaping the cold weather.

Wonderful place ....

~ it certainly looks the place to be~it it wasn't for the 24 hour flights and the cost of getting half way round the world....I do think that is why you are getting less of us these days!

A great picture Bernieh the She- Oak foilage frames the scene perfectly, would make a great holiday advertisement!

Tis a beautiful tree and lovely floating leaves too what a scene beautiful.

Thanks all - yes it not half bad there on a winter's day.

I don't expect you see any snow there in your winter lol :-)

No snow whatsoever up here Richardpeeej - we have to travel down to Victoria and Tasmania to see snow. Up here our coldest daytime winter temperature so far has been 23 degrees C, our coldest night-time winter temp. has been 18 degrees C!!! Not really what you might call a winter.

Not at all Bernieh. Your winters are better than our summers!! Hope you are having a good time over there in Australia!

Yes thanks Richardpeeej - it's another glorious winter day and a day off work so can't complain!

Hope you enjoyed your day off Bernieh - hope you have a nice weekend

Thanks Richard - it's already Saturday morning and I'm off to do some gardening - whaowho!

Wow have a nice day in the garden Bernieh - Its Saturday morning here also but just 1.15am I'm just off to bed now - nite!
