A forest of yellow

I'm not sure what kind of trees these are really, as per usual, but I found them absolutely lovely. They injected the landscape with a bit of colour and brightened up my day with their cheery yellow leaves and mossy bark.

A bashful friend

Meet my new friend, a super cuddly Koala that I ran into (metaphorically of course) today whilst out and about in Belair National Park. I'd honestly gone about one hundred metres from the car park and I saw this little guy traipsing across some vegetation and then he promptly climbed up one of the native trees and sat munching some eucalypt leaves for about ten or fifteen minutes. It was a great surprise and I'm not sure who was more fascinated by the other. He seemed rather curious about me and I could see he was peeking out at me between tree branches. He was very peaceful and cute and looked very friendly although I kept a safe distance because those claws look sharp!

Belair National Park

Today I ventured up to Belair National Park in the Adelaide Hills to take some more photos of beautiful native vegetation. It was a grey and very wintery day and I think even the leaves were shivering in the breeze. I'm much more a fan of taking photos of nature and plants in summer with a searing sun and clear blue skies. But to get a taste of nature I must extricate myself from my comfort zone and experience some of Adelaide's beautiful natural surrounds. Here's what I saw and snapped while trekking through the National Park.
