Another suburban #gumtree, featuring its unique trunk patterns, akin to typical army fatigues.
The different colour of bark patches are in fact varying layers that have aged over the months. The lighter shades, obvs, are the newer layers.
This beauty is at least 60 foot tall and has most likely been around for longer than most of us, even though it’s a relatively mid-aged tree, I’d suggest.
Many #gums live in excess of 200 years, I read with interest!
You should see these monumental trees in a bush setting. In numbers, they are breathtaking.

These #ducks congregating in a circular formation caught my eye earlier…
Were they playing "Ring a Ring o' Rosie?” 🤔
Wanted to get closer shots, but as ducks go, they were somewhat shy and evaded me at any chance!
They probably wondered why I was taking photos of them.
Perhaps they thought I was quackers?

The trusty flora ID App tells me these leaves belong to an #AmericanSweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), which is native to warm temperate areas of eastern North America and tropical montane regions of Mexico and Central America.
Sweetgums are recognizable by the combination of its five-pointed star-shaped leaves (similar to maple leaves) and its hard, spiked fruits.
This tree is almost bare, however a handful of beautiful leaves still remain. Notice how the setting sun accentuates the rich network of veins throughout each leaf structure?
And their colours are oh so gorgeous, too!

A little bit of #Australiana - an #Australian #bush scene on a brick wall facing a busy highway in suburban #brightonEast #Australia.
It’s a new addition to the area, which is a part of #Melbourne’s #urbancanvas project which has seen the creation and display of up to 30 new public pieces of art pop up, over the recent few months.
I’m slowly getting around to each one of them… one at a time.
This project is sponsored by #Resene, a local paint producer and supplier.
Artist; #Soleveins, aka #Veins (painted 2023).

#BrightonEast #Melbourne #Australia is home to this grand #gumtree!
So richly #Australian and native to this continent.
First two pictures are of the same tree.
3rd and 4th are of other tree foliage (#eucalyptus leaves) that are typical of #gums, given the tall one tops out at around 60 foot high (estimated).
Taken yesterday evening, pre-sunset.
