Imagine a gentle breeze gliding over the landscape and ruffling through the casuarinas. Lie back and think of being enveloped in a mellow mood, the resonance of wind through the trees.
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Enveloped.”
Nature on the Edge 
That would be a nice time to spend!
I love listening to the wind through the trees. Sounds like waves.
I can imagine being tucked behind those fronds listening to them swish and sway like a hula dancer.
I love my casurina trees!
Stunning
Liz, what a lovely thought just before my bedtime 🙂
Thank you, friend. ❤
I had to look up casuarina. The Wikipedia article about it says: “Casuarina is a genus of 17 species in the family Casuarinaceae, native to Australasia, the Indian Subcontinent, southeast Asia, and islands of the western Pacific Ocean. It was once treated as the sole genus in the family, but has been split into three genera (see Casuarinaceae).” Thanks for the into.
They’re often associated with poor soils and planted to make wind breaks. Their windsong is very soothing, low tones. Thanks for dropping by.
Windsong is an interesting concept. In searching online I found that was the name of John Denver’s ninth album, in 1975.
Yes, it comes with a meditative overtone. I have a cousin who designs gardens and this aspect often comes up – for instance a grove of bamboo could have a syncopated sound, the rustle of beech leaves adds glissando or the gentle pitch of casuarina 🙂 Thanks for the reference to John Denver’s his Windsong album. That also brings me to think of his River deep, Mountain high 🙂 Whilst you’re out there in your rambles around Texas and beyond, do you have any particular reference to windsongs?
There’s apparently a place about 20 miles north of Austin called Kelly’s Kids-Windsong Farm, which I know nothing about.
I can well imagine it..thanks for taking me there…
Thanks for the feedback, Annette 🙂
What a lovely photo Liz, you can really feel the breeze on this one. Nicely done!
Thanks, Tina.
