I’m joining Becky in her July Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules of the challenge are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word tree. Look for #treesquare. Come with me on a Central Queensland road trip starring trees and the beautiful landscapes of my home state.
Minerva Hills National Park
A magnificent lemon-scented gum frames the view from the lookout at Fred’s Gorge.
The reflected glow of the setting sun highlights the craggy face of Dillies Knob, the weathered remnant of a volcanic plug formed more than 28 million years ago.
Fabulous photos, especially the first one, it’s stunning 🙂
