Mieke Boynton replied
Thanks Wendy!! It’s probably the most photographed tree in Victoria – there are some INCREDIBLE images of it on redbubble… they might show up if you search “dog rocks”...?? Anyway, thank you, I tried to do it a little differently :) :)

I wonder what it is about those kinda trees that we find so attractive. Maybe it’s the way they grow so haphazardly… footloose and fancy free. What a great shot.
Angie McKenzie
