“You know why trees smell the way they do?” Murphy asked, looking up from her hammering. “Sap?” Logan guessed. “Chlorophyll?” Murphy shook her head. “Stars. Trees breathe in starlight year after year, and it goes deep into their bones. So when you cut a tree open, you smell a hundred years’ worth of light. Ancient starlight that took millions of years to reach earth. That’s why trees smell so beautiful and old.” ~ By Frances O’Roark Dowell in 'Where I’d like to be'

Railway and Trees
Stony Point railway station is the last station on the short line to Frankston.
It is the only rail link on the Mornington Peninsula.
Love how the station is framed in trees and just to the left is the shoreline of Westernport Bay.

Tree and the Sea
A view of Westernport Bay from Stony Point.
Imagine the same view without the drama of the tree foliage.

Etching
Even dying trees can etch the beauty of their naked art on a landscape.
This photo was taken at Point Leo on Westernport Bay, Mornington Peninsula

Welcome to the Art of Trees and Plants
This blog is created to look at trees and plants in a different way from the usual botanical connections.
In fact, there will be many photos without names of plants simply because I don't know what they are.
Instead the photo aims to look at the beauty, the uniqueness, the art.
I have a passion for the art of rain drenched tree trunks - especially in a Spring flowering landscape.
