The Murray River wends itself through the town I grew up in, and is the longest River in Australia. In my childhood memories, they're always framed by the river. It's there in the background of every great moment I had growing up and is such a calming natural wonder. These photos were taken last time I was home, back in May from memory. Some of them are a bit random, and were just snaps I got as I was walking along the riverbank.
I got some photos of the reeds that grow all along the riverbank, sometimes they're the only glimpse of green, especially in summer.
And now for the photos that actually relate to the title of this post.
When I was home last my sister, my Dad and I wandered down to the river and I took some photos of the reeds and trees that line the riverbank. They're beautiful in their own right and the sight of the winding trajectory of the river will always calms me and remind me of the simple beauty in life.
