| Jacaranda Tree. |
I arrived
in Sydney in
the Spring time. One sunny morning I went to the Domain, one of the city’s
urban parks. I saw the most beautiful tree ever. It was a Jacaranda tree.
It was wide
and full of beautiful blue flowers. I lay on the grass with the sun just
visible through the thick covering of flowers. I knew from the width of the
tree that I would be in the shade for a while. That way I could lie comfortably
without having to worry about sunburn.
After about
10 minutes I became aware of the warm sunshine on my face. I looked up and saw
the sun was out from behind the tree and was above me now. I was baffled. It
took me a long time to realise that the sun was moving from east to west via
the north. I was used to the sun moving via the south. This was one of many strange
things I learned while living in Australia!
