Don’t forget that this blog has a Community Home.
The following photograph is of a somewhat isolated plant community taken in February 2008 in the Blue Mountains, West of Sydney.
Jennifer, In relation to your isolated but diverse community, I see you are running second to strobist (sic) for top community blog, and they had a photo of just one tree. So you should not feel too isolated. If you did not exist someone would have to invent you. Yoy are clearly top Southern Hemisphere and that is hard to top. Hang in there – dont change a thing unlike Micheal Jackson – he needs a makeover.
That is a gorgeous photo.
As this site often goes against mainstream environmentalism and opposes nature reserves etc etc , so will I inform Jennifer readers that I have posted a controversial post at my blog , that asks if it is time to let the panda go?
A very good article :
