Whitsunday Trees

Dreams of summer!

Thanks Xata. This was actually taken in the Queensland winter :-)

oh this is beautiful, relaxing..

A wonderful part of Queensland.

What a lovely spot to enjoy!!

I wish that I was there.

A gorgeous capture, Gillian! I also wish I was there :-))

Beautiful tropical scene - even if it's not in the tropics!! ;0)

Thanks Paul. Tropical cyclones in this area in summer.
Hamilton Island weather is sub tropical which makes it perfect for holidays in the sun for the majority of the year. Hamilton Island lies on the same tropical latitude as Honolulu in the northern hemisphere and Mauritius in the south. It has a year round warm tropical climate with an average temperature of 27.4 degrees celsius.

OK- so that is very similar to where I live - We also have identical weather to Hawaii I believe

wonderful! I want to sit under the trees and relax

Beautiful trees and view.

Beautiful view.

Beautiful view and summer memory!

beautiful outlook and light, is there room for one more on the bench?

What a view ! Stunning shot

A truly lovely scene and one that's been beautifully captured too ... nice work Gillian! :)

Just thought I'd pop back again to let you guys know it's snowing here! ;(

s.n.o.w.! well how lucky are you!

Thanks everyone, it's really great to read all your comments. We haven't seen snow since the last time we went ski-ing in Australia(Snowy Mountains), 2001 :-)
We really don't have much of a winter in Queensland.

Looks like a great place to be! Wonderful photo and scene!

Great capture.

I almost missed your beautiful photo Gillian. What a lovely place you live in!
