Paperbark swamp

 

Abundance oozes
Overloading eye and brain
Blood sucking leeches.

Noble Note is enclosed by a gully to the south which falls gently from one water-bird refuge through another,
draining eventually into the new dam. To the north of the home-paddock runs a creek through which I
straggled lost in mine own company but muttering "small footprint; remember, small footprint".

Julie, I fiddled with my comments settings and somehow lost yours today. Didn't want you to think I deleted it intentionally!
Hugs,

I love paperbarks ... but harking back to the issue of weeds we were discussing in my blog .. I remember doing a boat trip on the Everglades in Florida and they were complaining bitterly about the Australian paperbarks which were taking over their swamp.
