It can be hard to differentiate those subtle differences - I think I would miss the grey greens of our land as well. Go well.Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-26013216796090103682018-09-01T20:50:19.550+10:002018-09-01T20:50:19.550+10:00Its so true Mo isn't it - we see what we are u...Its so true Mo isn't it - we see what we are used to seeing; and can hardly find the beauty and the difference in the unfamiliar.

I am now able to see and appreciate the subtle differences but still miss that harder drier look of Africa compared to the soft greens and lush foliage here.kjsutcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064786032612487652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-77427593634823745392018-08-31T01:12:05.504+10:002018-08-31T01:12:05.504+10:00the subtleties of the Australian bush, when we fir...the subtleties of the Australian bush, when we first arrived in Australia nearly 50 years ago, it was so different to the deciduous forests of North America where I was born, it took years before I started noticing all the tiny flowers in the coastal heathland, the different varieties of trees and grasses in the open woodlands, the rainforest species that grow in the gullies.
