Bimble box

It's been unusually windy today. On my walk along the river this afternoon I passed through a patch of bimble box trees. These eucalypts have shiny round leaves. The breeze in the bimble box bounces off the foliage in a particular way: a shiny, round, leathery sound. It's as if the leaves are talking to one another, an animated conversation that I would love to join in with.
