Midwinter on the Fleurieu’s southern edge: looking up, in stringybark forest

 

 

Whenever you are walking in a forest, there is one thing you should always remember to do, at least every few minutes:  look up.

Subject to the sun’s position, I would suggest you apply the above recommendation whenever walking outside, anywhere.

Footnote to “looking up”

I also like to turn around and look behind me, at least every few minutes.

Whenever your feet are on or adjacent to unpaved ground, looking down – closely, much more often – is usually even more rewarding.

As will eventually become apparent, “looking down” yielded our most memorable experiences on 20 June 2023…and the greater portion of this series’ images.
