A recent work trip to Roma. How had I missed all these Brachychitons on previous trips? Hard to fathom. Here are some of them. OK, no more. 
Who and what
I’m a naturalist and photographer living in Toowoomba, Australia.
In this 'blog' I share some photographs, and often the stories behind them, as well as images and writing from various guests.
Nothing within is intended to be too academic, so you may well find errors in fact, grammar, punctuation, spelling and, heaven forbid, taxonomy. There may even be outrageous and unsupportable statements. Please let me know if you see anything that you feel you cannot cope with and which cries out to be corrected (such as missing apostrophes).
Thanks to all who have generously allowed me to reproduce their images and stories.
More organised galleries of my photographs can be seen on my main website (see link above in the main menu).
Please leave a comment if you have time.

Smashing images. This is a very strange tree. I don't think I've ever seen them before. They all look like they just need to diet a bit..
