Summer in Australia

Thank heavens for my wonderful little air conditioner at home


This was one of our summer days here in Feb 2017!
41.4°C / 106.3°F !!!
And in 2026...


Actual temperature chart of the globe, Jan. 2019... yes, Australia is the hottest place on the whole planet!


(NB. It was MUCH hotter elsewhere... it got upto 48°C / 118°F plus in the west of the State!!!)

Time of the Season - Autumnal Tree 2025


Across the road from my front yard stands a stunning large Green Ash tree (cf. pdf re. Australian uses).

I plan to capture a daily photo throughout Autumn 2025 to observe the transformation into its magnificent autumnal hues.

I'll be using my Mobile Phone's camera to capture these.

This is a complimentary page to my "The Giving Tree" photos.

The title reference is to the 1968 song by The Zombies, "The Time of the Season". 🌳




A Different Tree to Finish This 2025 Season

I might finish this 2025 season with the same kind of tree, across the road from the other one, although next door to me.

Postscript: OK, so it all didn't really 'work' this season. Try again next year.

➽ Catch-22.. Council severely trimmed it away from the overhead powerlines c.6 months ago... it's lost a lot of its bulk compared to previous years.... and I mean a LOT! 😞

This tree didn't display that well this year, no doubt due to its heavy trimming.


➽ See my 2023 and 2024 series of photos of the same tree.

Catch-22... with some strong wind & rain, many of the leaves have already blown away this year!
