Friendly Friday Photo Challenge -Coral ish colours

Forestwood

It was just too tempting not to join in again this week with Friendly Friday, given this stunning example of coral ish colour just outside my door.

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word. Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, a writer and I enjoy photography and crafts, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

    1. Indeed you are right,Snow! It is the Swamp Mahogany (gum tree). It is rather special. Not a tall tree, by any stretch. But so pretty in blossom and the rainbow lorikeet birds love them for the nectar. Do you remember those birds?

      1. Ah yes, gum trees! I remember. And lorikeets, yes! When I visited my childhood best friend as a grown up, I was surprised by how many different kinds of parrots you could see everywhere, early in the morning. I had forgotten the lorikeets but that gum tree flower looks so familiar! ❤️

    1. Yes it is similar to that, Gavin. They look very Christmasy and I used to have two Pohutukawa shrubs growing in my garden. Love those brilliant flowers. You aren’t based in New Zealand, are you?

    1. They are Australian eucalyptus flowers but the tree is actually called a Swamp Mahogany. They are highly decorative aren’t they? I don’t think you would find them growing anywhere else outside Australia?

    1. These are so reminiscent of Australia. The smell of the leaves and the cacophony of the Rainbow Lorikeets evokes summer in Oz!! Most definitely. Are you in Nepal for long, David?
