Challenge 7 – Shades of …….
This challenge is an adaptation from a post on the blog ‘Bringing us Together’ run by the students and teachers in last year’s challenge.
Most countries of the world have deciduous trees which have leaves that change colour and drop during Autumn in the southern hemisphere or in Fall during the northern hemisphere. 
But in Australia, most of our endemic trees are evergreen and rarely lose their leaves. The first settlers to our country in the late 1700 and early 1800’s brought with them seeds of trees such as oaks, willows and poplars from their old country usually England. They planted these on their properties and nowadays these deciduous trees can still be seen in groves or avenues at some of the older settled areas of the country.
On Good Friday, I went for a drive through the Derwent Valley north of Hobart, and took some photos of the trees in this area both deciduous and evergreen.
Your challenge this week
To write a post about a colour. The post could be a narrative story, a poem, a photo story , a photo collage, a quiz or any other form of post you care to write. You could include different shades of this colour as I have with my photos of shades of green in the Australian bush. You must include some images and make sure if they are not your own images, that you have given the correct attribution. Below are a few websites where you might be able to find some images to use.

Thank you for leaving me that comment, I really appreciated it. The images that I have on my blog are from Flickr, but I think 1 or 2 of them are taken from me.. I can’t remember. I have them credited to Flickr on the image; you have to hit the image. I was so happy about this post! AHH! I can’t get over it and I don’t know why. I just had a really fun time writing this post. Thanks again.
