The Trunk Series (No. 7) — Parasol

Posted on by
A beautiful, intimate photograph with a very shallow depth of field, showing a single, tiny mushroom with a delicate cap and slender stem. The mushroom stands in a bed of mulch and dried leaves on the forest floor of the Cape to Cape Walk. Its umbrella-like shape perfectly reflects the post's title, 'Parasol,' highlighting the moment of a small discovery during the journey.

A close-up photograph of the trunk of a Marri tree on Day 6 of the Cape to Cape Walk between Hamelin Bay and Augusta. A vertical line of dark, reddish-orange resin, known as 'marri gum,' flows down the bark, creating a striking visual that resembles a 'gash' and a wound.

The Trunk Series (No. 3) — Ruff

Posted on by
A vibrant, close-up photograph of the cross-section of a tree trunk with a fibrous, reddish-orange texture and a hollow center. The distinctive circular shape and rough texture resemble an old-fashioned collar 'ruff,' which directly reflects the post's title. The tree is likely a native species from the Cape to Cape region, such as a Marri tree.

The hill is covered in low, scrubby bushes that have the appearance of a 'buzzcut,' which perfectly matches the post's title.

Posted on by
A vertical photograph of a group of vibrant green and brown fungi with a tiered, layered structure, growing on the side of a tree trunk.

timepiece

A photograph of a piece of old, rusty, and decaying farm machinery, with a large, circular cog lying on the ground in the foreground. The image was taken at the historic Ellensbrook homestead on the Cape to Cape Walk. The visual decay and the cogs of the machine serve as a powerful metaphor for the post's title, 'timepiece'.

Pointing to Gracetown

Posted on by
A close-up photograph of a spiky green plant, taken with a shallow depth of field, blurring the background. The plant's angular leaves and branching form create a distinct shape, which the poem describes as 'diamond lines' and 'dinosaur spires.' The image and its title together poetically point the way toward Gracetown on the Cape to Cape Track.

Blue Two Part 2

A minimalist photograph of the intricate, dark pattern of bare tree branches against a vivid, cloudless blue sky. The image's high contrast and focus on two key elements—the branches and the sky—serve as a continuation of the 'Blue Two' series, exploring the theme of color and form.
