On chilly mornings, especially after there's been a bit of rain, the gum trees release a wonderful and mysterious-looking vapor when the sunlight strikes them. It's gorgeous to watch the steam rise from the ground and from the tree trunks, slowly rising into the air. It's a little like seeing your own breath on frosty mornings - as if the trees are exhaling, and I suppose they are.
I'm writing this on Tuesday night - and the weather people are
predicting that temps here will drop below freezing tonight. Brrr! Today
was sunny, and tomorrow is supposed to be sunny, too. Will the trees be
steaming in the morning? Don't know... but I'll be finding out!
