Like yesterday’s featured image, today’s was taken on the afternoon of 15 March 2021.
Their locations are within circa 300 metres of each other; both are near to where the National Park’s access road crosses the Waychinicup River.
An endlessly rewarding aspect of walking in beautiful Australian bush – particularly in undulating terrain – is the ever-shifting play of light and shadow upon so many, variously-coloured, differently-textured leaves, petals, bark, nuts, seeds, flowers, rocks, feathers, fur… et al.
(and as a friend once remarked, “once you have walked a lot in WA’s southwest, eastern Australia’s bushy places – wonderful as they also are – begin to feel like monocultures”)
If you look carefully, you can see that some of the shaded, “real” (Marri) tree’s fallen leaves have been “captured” by the grass tree.
