Among the sleeping trees

Saplings settle into slumber in the warmth of early autumn but in this pocket of wildness you will still find berries and rose hips and mushrooms, finches and skinks and dragonflies, and all the wood sprites your imagination desires.

I loved the homey, scrappy feel of this scene - the warm neutral tones felt gentle and humble, yet I could see delicious rich colour lurking beneath - and above, in that oh-so-Australian blue sky.
