Made whilst  wandering in the local Waitpinga bushland on a poodlewalk in  the late summer of 2022.  

 It was a branch of a pink gum, but I  can no longer remember where it was exactly. 

This abstraction from  a snapped pink gum branch in the local Waitpinga bushland   is from an early morning walk with Kayla  between Xmas and New Year.   It was made a bit latter on the same morning  as   this one. 

Several of the  branches of the pink gums in the bushland had cracked and snapped over the Xmas period. I wondered why as it had been a wet spring and the early summer months had been cool.   I had assumed that it was a period of extended dryness that caused the branches to snap or splinter.
