we climbed trees soaked in words and maple honey
with a grand curtsey to Enid Blyton for the wonder and magic she stitched into the world with her words.
in the land of the never never, central australia, there are desert oak trees that feel as though they are older than the land itself. and when you stand under one and look up… well, all you can do is just search for the magic ladder really…

thank you so much bloss, i lived in central australia for about four years and my love affair with desert oak trees, or kurkara was in full bloom right from the beginning. the leaves of the desert oaks always looked like clusters of lace… and i loved creating this image. i’m so pleased you like it. thank you.
