Victory

In a rare burst of spontaneity - and also because it was on our way - we went searching for a tree today. Not just any tree either, and we weren't searching for the usual reasons; tree hugging.. bark eating.. leaf collecting or sap drinking. We went to locate the same tree we'd all taken a picture by at Lake Monger 10 years ago right before we left Australia to move to Asia.

I would scan it and show you all the wonder of change that a decade can do to us and to the tree. I'd probably add a few stylish words about how we got Mum in the same place in each one, but as is typical of us and our faulty memories, we ended up finding the wrong tree.
Of course we didn't know that we were happily in the wrong place, and it wasn't discovered untill i got home and realized we needed a new species of tree. I can just see us repeating this process in 10 years hugging both special trees.
I'm surprised we made it to the right place in the park.

hey! an unknown admirer! sure YOU can write!

Santi said...

hmm, i'm not an admirer yet i just happen to love meet new people and have more friends in the fam, and out of my 160 family members buddy list i don't have anyone in Australia, and i thought oh well, i sure wouldn't mind having a friend in Australia too ;)
no hidden disturbing reasons than just the simplicity of having a new friend and get to know one more person in the fam :), my motives are pure :P
