MY WORLD ~ Temperate Rainforest

Let me take you to a place I really love, the

temperate rainforest of Victoria, where the

trees are tall, the rivers flow and the air smells

sweet at this time of year.

Although most of the area has been prey to major bushfires

throughout the years and the giants of the forest that used to

rival the redwoods of California are gone now, there is still

magic in these mountains.

When the understory Pittosporums spread their scent and

feed butterflies on ambrosia, you know it is springtime.

I love the trees being too tall for my camera lens and needing

to crane one's neck seriously to see to their heads in the clouds.

The scars of the last fire are still clearly visible, yet the forest in

its majesty is no less impressive than before.

Show us what touches your heart in OUR WORLD, the more, the merrier!
