Same but different



Many artists are inspired by Nature, whether we paint it, arrange it in a vase or quilt it etc. Leaves hold a fascination for me because of their beautiful shapes & the story they tell about their sense of place. The Eucalyptus  family has many members & often there is a difference of shape & colour depending on the region. Height definately varies with climate conditions.
 Top left is a photo of gum blossom from my local area while the other photos are from Canberra. Of course many species are grown all over Australia & overseas. We saw very well established gums growing in Sardinia, Italy when we lived there.
